BIM Server Scare
March 11, 2013
It was like we’d just saved the world from a nuclear holocaust. But we couldn’t tell anyone because it wasn’t rogue KGB operatives still disgruntled from the end of the Cold War or Kim Jong Un and his lackeys with their fingers on the button. It was aliens from another dimension. And if we tried to explain that everything was alright, the citizens of the world would just freak out
Frustrating ArchiCAD Things That Need to be Changed: You
October 23, 2012
Okay that title is a little facetious. But you should expect that from me by now. There is a wonderful thread on LinkedIN that was started two weeks ago on the ArchiCAD Residential Designers Group. You need to be a member to view it, so a direct link to the thread is a little annoying to include. If you’re a residential designer who uses ArchiCAD, it’s a great group to
Parallel Teams, Serial Teams, and the Critical Importance of Templates

Parallel Teams a group of people working on a given project, at the same time. Teams working in parallel are well discussed in the world of ArchiCAD and BIM. There are a variety of options for ArchiCAD users: independent .pln files, hotlinked modules, and of course Teamwork 2.

ArchiCAD Spring Academy 2011 Recap
May 29, 2011
Daniel Dusoswa, Chairman of ACUA (ArchiCAD Users Association), forwarded me Ray Elysee’s recap of the 2011 ArchiCAD Spring Academy. After reading it, I am even more jealous of everyone who was there. I hope that in coming years I’ll be able to attend and that some of us users in North America will create similar events on this side of the Atlantic. I want to thank Daniel and Ray for
Virtual Visible Views Project
March 27, 2011
In the ArchiCAD LinkedIn group, Michael Scarmack, AIA, recently started gauging interest in a global experiment using the ArchiCAD BIMserver that he’d like to conduct. There’s a lot of excitement about this grassroots project and I think it will lead to some big things. What things? I don’t know.
