Shoegnome would never have existed if I wasn’t such a huge fan of Onland.info. I’ve gushed over James Murray’s blog before. He stopped updating his site about the time I started writing mine, so I feel a responsibility to carry the torch he held for so many years. Most of his 679 posts are still just as relevant now as they were when James wrote them. When I was teaching

ArchiCAD 16 Hotfix-1 package (build 3014) was released today. If you’ve been reading the Forum and some of the Facebook groups, you might have learned about a crash that occurs when launching a second instance of ArchiCAD 16. Or you might be one of the unlucky ones to have already been suffering with this issue. Suffer no more. This Hotfix also resolves some other minor zone calculation-related issues. You can
There are a lot of little tweaks in every version of ArchiCAD that don’t get top billing. Or any billing at all. Yet some of these changes are huge and exciting for us nerdy, obsessive users. There is a great list (started by ArchiCAD Hero Link Ellis) from last year on the ArchiCAD forum detailing all these unannounced changes for ArchiCAD 15. I wrote a post about it. Discover both
Kind of important News If you’re using any version of ArchiCAD and getting excited about Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion (or have already installed it). Read This. Now: http://archicadwiki.com/OsxMountainLion If you are already on Mac OS X 10.7, this is old news; but for those of you jumping from 10.6 or earlier, or an older version of Windows, no more using any version of ArchiCAD older than version 10.

The ArchiCAD events put on by ArchiCAD Users Association International are great places to connect with the community, learn about ArchiCAD, and often get some sneak peeks at the future. The event offers a mix of sessions,
While doing some experimentation on an ArchiCAD 15 file that I’d opened in ArchiCAD 16, I came across a weird quark with the Morph Tool. The pet palette for the Morph Tool wasn’t showing me all the options. I was bewildered and annoyed. I wasn’t sure what was going on and I just wanted ArchiCAD to work the way I knew it should. I was pissed. Fortunately I did what
My second year of blogging I’m now at two years of never missing a week. I can’t believe that. This is post 213, which means I’m averaging slightly OVER 2 posts a week. I did not plan on that. I really meant to do only one post a week. I guess since I quit my day job, I’ve just been having too much fun posting and thinking about ArchiCAD. We
