Revit 2014 & ArchiCAD 17, please meet your friend SketchUp Pro 2013

So this is big news. Lots to read. I was too busy with my impending move to get this out the day everyone else was freaking out about SketchUp Pro 2013. But that’s okay, news like this deserves to be mulled over. And I think it’s going to take a while, especially with what my Summer is looking like, to digest all the implications of this new release.

ArchiCAD STAR(T) 2013 vs Revit LT 2013

Flexible, Fast and Functional – A Review of Master Script’s Total Keynote

This guest post is by David Jefferis. “Someone finally made a good keynote object.” The reaction by a former co-worker sums up my feelings about the new Total Keynote object by Master Script.

You are going to give Master Script 80 Euros; And be VERY happy you did

An interesting offer… I’ve been trying to figure out how to write this review for weeks. Okay months. Jeroen de Bruin of Master Script first contacted me about writing a review for Total Zone and Total Marker on July 26th. I was flattered and thrilled. I warned him it’d be a little while. I wanted to use Total Marker and Total Zone in a project. Flipping through features and dreaming
