Guest Blogger Martijn de Riet: Let me tell you about Revit Families

August 14, 2013

Jared’s Note: As should surprise no one, Kristian’s post comparing ArchiCAD GDL vs Revit Families caused quite a stir on both sides of the ArchiCAD vs Revit divide. I am both thrilled and honored that Martijn de Riet has written a wonderful response to Kristian’s comparison, from the Revit side of things. Martijn is one of my favorite Revit pros on Twitter (more so after reading this post while doing

Guest Blogger Kristian Bursell: ARCHICAD GDL vs REVIT FAMILIES

August 13, 2013

Recently I spent a great deal of time working with Revit Families (RFA’s) to determine their capabilities. I approached this endeavor with no bias; as most mathematicians will tell you, it is all about potential with personal preference a liability. Though I could write a book on the topic of ArchiCAD GDL vs Revit Families I’m going to be as brief as possible and hopefully expand in later posts. Basic

Guest Blogger Willard Williams: Review of the Better Detail Marker by Master Script

June 28, 2013

The Better Detail Marker for ArchiCAD by Master Script is an awesome little tool to add to your box.  The Object basically allows you to adjust how the tail will look while removing the arrow at the markers’ head.  The stock ArchiCAD detail markers have limited adjustments of various types of marker heads but few tail options for the Object.  Our preference within our drawing standards is to have a

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

June 3, 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. In general

ArchiCAD STAR(T) 2013 vs Revit LT 2013

January 15, 2013

Let’s Do This. You should all know my feelings on comparing software by now. Especially ArchiCAD vs Revit. All I really know about the two light versions of ArchiCAD and Revit is what I’ve read and heard. I haven’t used either. But when has that ever stopped me or anyone else from voicing an opinion? I want to look at what is missing from these programs in relation to their

ArchiMAG review of ArchiCAD 16

October 29, 2012

ArchiCAD 16-FIN — three wishes granted So this is a long review, but it’s great and worth the time to read. Severi Virolainen, the author of the article and CEO at M.A.D. (publisher of ArchiMAG and Graphisoft Reseller for Finland), isn’t shy about sharing the good and bad of ArchiCAD 16. No surprise, he’s overall very positive. But he doesn’t pull his punches. Here’s two of my favorite parts: ArchiCAD’s

The beast with 1,000 heads

September 11, 2012

This week’s posts definitely have a theme: ArchiCAD vs. Revit. I hope to keep it above board. I’ve no interest in really trashing a program I don’ know or getting Reviteers to jump ship. I just want to raise awareness for all involved: BIM users, BIM curious, BIM averse. All types. I had thought about writing a bunch of garbage like: ArchiCAD vs Revit or How do ArchiCAD and Revit

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

March 11, 2012

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. The object has a deep level of functionality and easily conforms to any graphic style or working method. In addition to describing and analyzing the object (note, it’s NOT an add-on), I will also explain how the

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

September 26, 2011

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
