Does anyone know when version 10 will be released and what new rendering features that will be included?

ArchiCAD 10 will be released on the first of april, with included 3ds max rendering engine (based on Mental Ray). It will work on Windows XP only and is only available for subscription customers. It's file format has changed to DWG and the sections, elevations and 3D windows will all be XRefed into one main DWG file. GDL objects are dropped and "Families" are now the main way to structure your libraries, which can be iDropped into the main viewports from Tool Palettes.
The official release name will be ArchiCAD 2007 Professional 3D.

Got my copy from distributer today. Given that I am running Mac OSX Cheata (beta) on my Dell, it works great!

Well it must be coming really soon, because the US distributors are suddenly all in a hurry to complete the paperwork for the subscriptions they took 6 months ago.
