Here’s Part 2C of my series on Work Environments. Have you read Part 1, Part 2A, and Part 2B yet? I think these two Work Environments go together well. While on the surface these two might look very similar, look closer. The first Work Environment is from a Mac and the second is from a PC. The big benefit of the PC Work Environment is that palettes can be minimized. I
Here’s Part 2B of my series on Work Environments. Have you read Part 1 and Part 2A yet? I think this is a pretty cool 2 screen solution. The main screen is almost completely drawing space. Only the toolbox and a few toolbars encroach on the useable space. You’ll notice the toolbox is a little bigger than you’re used to seeing. That’s because this user is also using the MEP
A month ago I posted an 8 minute video discussing a few aspects of my Work Environment in ArchiCAD. You can read the original post and watch the video here. There are some really good comments as well, so don’t forget to check those out. Anyways, at the end of the post I asked for readers to send me screenshots of their Work Environments. Below is the first in a
I would love to have Zones in ArchiCAD be story sensitive. So many other element types already are. What am I talking about? This: AND this: I’m starting to use zones a lot more for various scheduling purposes (more on that soon, I promise). I’d like to have one zone for stairs, but have it show up on multiple stories. Right now my options (for a 3 story space) are
Hopefully the era of firms trying to fix their BIM credentials through misplaced hiring practices is nearing its end. But probably not.
Have you seen the list of ArchiCAD Easter Eggs on the ArchiCADwiki? Enjoy! Of all the Easter Eggs in ArchiCAD, I still think this is the best one. But then again I’m a fan of anything that can be related to Zombies.
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.
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
