A great Spanish language ArchiCAD Blog (don’t worry Google Translate is here to help)

June 5, 2011

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.

The other users on the ArchiCAD-Talk Forum never cease to surprise and amaze me. There’s so much to be learned from them. Here’s my three favorite posts from the past few days. Dashed Lines on adjoining slabs I never knew ArchiCAD could model this, let alone in so many ways Take that SketchUp! And this too!

5 Minutes on the Forum makes us all (look) Smart

July 21, 2010

Take a few minutes and check out the techniques mentioned on this post as well as this one on the ArchiCAD-Talk forum. I highly recommend setting up a keyboard shortcut for the command mentioned in the second post. I have set mine to ‘[‘. It’s fast, easy, and I can’t believe I lived without it all these years.
