About a year ago GS rebranded its ArchiCAD, its logo turning from a somewhat curvy A to an arch with a point. I’d rather be known as an expert in a toolset that requires an additional clarification of ‘you know, used to be called ArchiCAD’ then just … ‘you know, ArchiCAD’. I badgered them about the ArchiCAD name, even then.

I consider myself to be a model-based construction information practitioner (shortened to a ‘BIM- meddler’) rather than an ‘expert’ or even ‘specialist’ Saturday, April 7, 2012. Archicad at its best). Archicad at its best). Now, these are nice! Now, these are nice! ► March. (7).

This fact brought home the realisation, that it is exactly 20 years since I bought my first ArchiCAD licence. That date did not mark my introduction to (what much later become) BIM, for a number of years before 1996 (about 5) I dabbled with 3D AutoCAD (fully modelled buildings with it in DOS). Again, you must use ArchiCAD.

Almost thirty years ago, I was first talking about computer modelling of buildings. I ‘drew’ the first axo chair in AutoCAD 25 years ago and showed it to her. I documented full houses in 3D ArchiCAD 20 years ago in our design studio, while she looked after our children. Sort them, check against models? Or a tablet.

It provides a credible picture of present day attitudes and progress made towards Building Information Modelling (BIM) in New Zealand.” Autodesk products are conveniently bundled together – not so ArchiCAD and Vectorworks (owned by the same company: Nemetschek). even with AutoCAD included!)

I observed a phenomena: over the years the number of users of 3D (model) based software in AEC has raised dramatically while their average skill level dropped tragically. AutoCAD pursued strategy no1 in the eighties and early nineties.

I consider myself to be a model-based construction information practitioner (shortened to a ‘BIM- meddler’) rather than an ‘expert’ or even ‘specialist’ Thursday, December 1, 2011. Still, when I put on the hat of the ‘virtual design manager/construction coordinator’, I go for Archicad.
