Thought about your ArchiCAD Work Environment recently? This week I’m trying something different (no real surprise, right?). In honor of setting up my new home office, I’m going to talk about my ArchiCAD Work Environment. I’m not going to cover everything about it, but let’s see what I can share under eight minutes. Here’s one spoiler: If your info box is stretched horizontally across the top of the screen like
So this week’s post is written. The video is recorded. Everything is good to go. But I’m having issues with uploading anything to my Youtube channel. Hopefully I can resolve it tonight or try uploading from my wife’s computer. I’ve wasted too much of last night and this morning on troubleshooting the issue and am ready to throw something through a window. I think I’ll eat an early lunch and
There are a lot of places to look for ArchiCAD jobs, but usually the positions are scattered among a whole variety of other opportunities. So it pays to keep an eye on local AIA boards, craigslist, the Archinect job board (when you click on this link make sure to add the keyword “ArchiCAD”), etc. And on many sites you can filter the job postings by keywords; searching the jobs on
I wrote a short guest post on Enoch Sear’s Business of Architecture blog. It gives a little more insight into what I’ll be talking about at tomorrow’s TAP webinar. Read it here.

And it’s definitely helped increase traffic to the blog. 7 of my 10 best traffic weeks have been since I started doing the videos in the middle of December 2011. And I’m sure once I post my 7th video (next week?), I’ll break the 10,000 views mark (I’m at roughly 8,500 views right
That’s Right! I’m really excited about this. I’m one of three panelists talking about BIM for small projects. This is the second in the series. You can view the first webinar here (featuring two ArchiCAD users and one Vectorworks user). I thought the first session was great, so I’m just thrilled and honored to be part of the second one. The other two speakers are Brian Skripac, Assoc. AIA of
Seriously. After 4 1/2 years at SALA Architects, I’ve left to pursue other adventures. I left my very stable job. A job where my coworkers appreciated what I provided for the firm and would love for me to stay there forever. During the worse economic meltdown in almost a century. With a wife in school full-time. And two young daughters. Happy Birthday Madeleine. You’re 3 tomorrow! And only a vague

Did you know you can make a ramp using just a slab and nothing else? Recently I’ve had opportunities to model quite a few schematic designs and imaginary buildings for the creation of renderings and walk-through movies. I love working on these types of models in ArchiCAD. A part of me would be happy to just get paid to design and model imaginary structures (take that as a hint). You
