When is Archicad 16 coming out ??

[Anonymous]

I know I am only starting out with archiad, but it seems a little shocking how much users have to fight the software to create organic shapes, sorry usable organic shapes.

I cant really understand it. So many other software companies have made this organic creation their bread and butter business but try to create something vers organic in archicad, you will soon start pulling your teeth out.

I just cant believe it really.
A big software company and product that so many architects use and if i was just building apartment layouts every day or a nice 2 stoey garage, then i would be a happy camper, but my bosses want wild and modern shapes and form, walls and roofs flowing like melting cheese over the roof.
and the only tool i have is archicad.

so when is this being done with archicad ?

Thanks.

Any chance you share with us some of those drawings?

Like this analogy about future events and developments (not only building turning into images but 'images' and ideas into 'material' reality) .

However this remained me of:

'BIM' me up, Scotty"

Captain Viktor Várkonyi (Kirk) when he gives orders to his chief architect László Vértesi (Montgomery "Scotty" Scott) as he needs to be transported back to the architectural community (Starship Enterprise).

Mind you smart cell phones (and iPad) from show are already in use, what we are waiting fore, is that not only for captain being BIM-ed up but also our Ideas to be BIM down (simply without tricks) by hitting 'OK'
