When is AC 10 Release Date

[Anonymous]

I thought AC 10 was going to be released around the end of February. Any ideas on when the new version will be out, and what capabilities it will have.

Thanks,

Grant

This sounds nice until you have a large project with many people working on it and PAs asking for sets of drawings for consultant and client meetings. Work in progress is not always what you want to show.

I really don't see how ArchiCAD would be better in this situation. With the model not being 'live' and making a change in plan: I would have plans that have changed but my sections and elevations wouldn't until I updated them - so if my PA is asking for drawings, unless I update those sections and elevations, they are going to be inconsistent. If I don't want to show a work in progress I'll write out a PDF set at certain stages of design no matter what program I am using - for backup and compatability purposes. The difference with Revit is - I don't have to second guess wether or not I updated that east elevation or not when I write out my drawings.

There are also issues about the differences between schematic drawings (including architectural plans, sections, elevations, details, etc.) and actual cut views of the model.

I believe the issues here are the same with both programs.


What I think is impressive is with Revit, is that it is actually a building information model - the model will respond parametricaly (ex. I can move an exterior wall out 20ft and the floor, roof and even the furniture along that wall can move with it) instead of just having a model with parametric objects in it. There is a difference.

Amen, brother!

GDL and parametric objects are extremely useful and powerful tools, but the same ability needs to be expanded to the entire building.

Although, I could see the All-GDL building working out....

I have seen this demonstrated before - it was truly amazing - the entire building changed based upon what was being stored inside it - structure, wall systems - everything. As cool as that was, the building was ugly as all hell...

Never mind that the whole team would have to be pretty hard-code GDL programmers.

Scott, i assume you are using the latest version of revit, 9 i think and released on my birthday.....btw
did you have any problems opening the projects in progress done in the previous versions ??

Yes, using Revit Building 9.0, it was released last week on April 12. (Happy belated Birthday!) So far, I have had no problems opening/upgrading files, although there were significant changes to "Rooms" in 9.0, so opening/upgrading a file seems to take a few seconds longer.

countdown reached 0 last night and this morning there was a brief presentation of new features of ac10

but now they removed it an now the countdown is reset for april 25th...

1. sloped walls (with doors/windows)
2. profiled walls - the slideshow also showed different materials in vertical section
3. wall skin priorities - that should solve laminated intersection problems
4. plotmaker inside archicad
5. gradient fill radial and linear - nothing spectacular
i think it didn't say nothing about release date
