i have another question:
i've just downloaded a demo of a program called 'envisioneer' by cadsoft (no laughing please...). clearly, it's nowhere near as complete as archicad, but i was impressed with its real time rendering capability. i.e. you build your model, press the button, and the software then calculates all the light/texture detail and comes up with a navigable 'rendered' 3d view. is it me or does archicad only offer the possibility of still pictures? (i know you can create animations but i'd like navigable 3d renderings)
is there an add on available that does this in archicad? i haven't got round to using artlantis 4.5 yet, as i opened it up and really didn't want to have to learn another piece of software... is this better than lightworks? can you navigate renderings in this app?
thanks in advance for any help
p.s. how do you know when a new topic has been posted? i.e. how will you know that i have posted this new topic?
also, how do i find my questions in this forum without doing a search?

derek,
archicad can do rendered 3d navigable renderings in QuickTime file format where they are called scenes and/or panoramic views. It can calculate lights, textures at the very professional level. The trick is you have to get used to all tweakings and sometimes clunky settings. I'm not surprised that you don't want to learn Artlantis (which is my case as well) . I personally think it is a waste of time (you know all that exporting, importing, different interface etc). But don't get me wrong if you're a viz guy you would be probably better off with Artlantis. AC rendering engine (Lightworks) is more for architects who want to have viz's at the decent level without spending too much time on that.
As I know there is a book about tricks in AC lightworks by Canadian fella Dwight Atkinson advertised herehttp://archicad-talk.graphisoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=7934
Apparently is very good with lots of examples but I just saw bits and pieces on the net (I'm promoting a book I haven't actually seen - that's ridiculous) and I think the price is around 50-60 quid as I can remember but you'd better to check that.
However, I am just scratching surface because as I said I do not really have time for visualizations.

Try the demo of the Zermat-plugin for ArchiCAD.
