Last week I tweeted (@https://shoegnome.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/1d-2d-3d-intersection.webp) and posted on facebook (www.facebook.com/https://shoegnome.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/1d-2d-3d-intersection.webp) a link to an old post I did. Here it is. It was a short post about two things. There were some great tips from the ArchiCAD Forum. Real little gems that have increased my effectiveness in ArchiCAD tremendously. I can’t believe I lived without these tricks for so many years. Go back to the old post, follow the links,

I’m Looking for Guest Bloggers

In the next few months I’m planning to revamp the blog and website. I’ve spent the last year focusing on writing and getting the word out.
