Did you update ArchiCAD 16 to Hotfix #2 (build 3270)? Because a little addition was added that is quite awesome. We now have the ability to “Limit navigation to gallery views” on both the desktop and mobile applications. You can read more on the ArchiCADwiki here. (also check out this thread on the Forum for more details on setting up a Camera Path to create limited navigation in a BIMx
That’s right! MNAUG #17 is coming! Date: Monday October 15th, 2012 | 6:30PM — 8:30 PM | Location: Wilkus Architects 11487 Valley View Rd Eden Prarie, MN I’m back from Boston and settled back into my cozy St. Paul nest. So before the snow arrives, let’s get together and share some ArchiCAD tips, tricks, stories, and questions. What are we going to talk about? Good question! How about all our
Shoegnome note: You can see more images of the winning project here on the ArchiCAD facebook page. BUDAPEST, September 28, 2012 — Nikola Rubic, a graduate of the University of Applied Sciences in Wiesbaden, Germany, has won an Apple MacBook Pro in the 2012 Spring ArchitectsJURY competition. His entry, the Nautical Museum of Split, was chosen by his peers in a global, online competition. Split is a Mediterranean city on
This is an expansion of some comments that Willard Williams made on a LinkedIn thread. I really liked what he had to say and asked him to expand it into a guest post for Shoegnome. Enjoy! In the end it is the final product that is of greatest importance. The reality is that both ArchiCAD and Revit (as well as the rest of the BIM software family) have done something

Quaint, sad, and yet hopefully. The first IFC promotional video from 1994. A big thanks to Stephen Hamil for finding this and sharing it on Youtube. I have a feeling I’ll be talking a lot more about IFC and OpenBIM this fall. It’s WAY more important than you think. Even if you already think it is important. Stay tuned. Oh and isn’t the Tower of Babel just a killer analogy
What do fluffy kittens and vile blog posts trashing software have in common? Their hatred for the phrase BIM model. In days past, those of us using ArchiCAD or Revit didn’t talk about BIM. We just worked in a superior way to the flatcadders and were happy about it. In fact ArchiCAD 1.0 was released in 1984 and Revit 1.0 came in 2000. The term BIM was only coined in
I just started using Command-Tab to pull up the Mac Application Switcher. I’ve accidentally used it before, but never intentionally. It’s AWESOME for quickly switching between multiple ArchiCAD files. Which happens to be something I’m doing a lot of right now. If you’re not familiar with the Mac Application Switcher, a quick Google Search will reveal a bunch of tricks that it can do. But what I’m really loving right
ArchiCAD 16 Hotfix-2 package (build 3270) was released today. You can read about all the details and download the hotfix (if your ArchiCAD isn’t set to automatically notify you) here. I know this hotfix solves an OpenGL anti-aliasing issue with ArchiCAD 16 and Mac OS X 10.8. Additionally it also contains fixes for several Energy Evaluation problems, IFC bugs and improves display quality on Mac computers with HiDPI display. Remember
