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.
So far I’ve gotten a lot of very positive responses from my Shoegnome Youtube Channel video tutorials. 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
It’s Valentine’s Day, so let’s share some love between BIM platforms… It also happens to be a busy week at Shoegnome doing things I can’t talk about or share right now. So here’s some news that’s a little old, but still good. You can now download Tekla BIMSight directly from www.myarchicad.com. You can read about all the details here. This is a great step for the industry. We need convergence,
I found an excuse to combine my love of art cars and ArchiCAD I can’t tell you how much time I’ve spent trying to match shadows in renderings to photos. Why didn’t I think of this before? All digital photos have a date and time stamp. Plug that into ArchiCAD (3D projection settings/more sun), pick your location, set your project north correctly and that should be that. This photo was
ArchiCAD 15 Hotfix #2 (Build 3602) ArchiCAD 14 Hotfix #6 (Build 4204) Here’s something worth reading now as well, from the release notes: Notice to users who have both ArchiCAD 15 and ArchiCAD 14 installed  ArchiCAD 14 Hotfix 6 (build 4204) should be applied together with ArchiCAD 15 Hotfix-2. This should be done,  to address Activity Monitor problems common to both BIM Server modules. These fixes will only be fixed
