What are new tools for ARCHICAD 13?

[Anonymous]

Hello 🙂
I was wondering if we maybe know what new tools we can expect with the new version of Archicad?
I finaly hope for 3D composite structure layers to be visible, also their 2D representation to be automaticly adjusted to the layer thickness (eg. thermal insulation).
Slab layers and their intersection with wall layers...
Also maybe while defining wall composite layers we can also define each layer height.
Better and more detailed quantity take-off is a must.

Do you mean "Visual GDL"? Yes I got one copy 🙂 Next try was from Abvent which produced "Black Turtle". Dead too...
If GS prepare some day software for visualizing GDL code lines it could be revolutionary!

You are right, it was "Visual GDL". That was a long time ago. Anyone heard anything that they might be able to pass along?

I too remember it.
I am still dreaming of us some day having Visual GDL again that would beat the hell out of Revit Families creation, hehe.

I asked the question of a GS person (not a reseller) what ever happened to Visual GDL. The reply, as I recall, was "The idea of Visual GDL has not gone away at Graphisoft".

What that means and if it was just a comment of the moment I have no idea. But I took as a very positive statement.

So when can we expect the new version of ArchiCAD to be released?

[Da3dalus]

It's been discussed in several areas in this forum that it appears GS is on a 14-month cycle. Since AC12 was announced last June and shipped in July, I think we can expect an August announcement and a September ship.

are the subscriptions extended to match the release dates ? NO!

I would suggest to anyone interested in AC13 to read this report in full because it gives a lot of info on what to expect in the upcoming version as well as its potential impact on the industry.
