If I was to become a proper architect, I had to use purpose designed tools. Ten years ago I amazed the local Archicad supplier by a colourful CV fully prepared on Plotmaker. quite a clumsy plotting tool related-to but not part of Archicad) These days I choose my tools according to what they can do.

Still, that has not deterred me to consistently use the colour ‘red’ on my construction models as a warning sign, highlighting that an element is either under-defined or wrongly defined by the design consultants or others in charge of it.

In 2004 David Sutherland was talking not only about the technology and its use in their Australian and globally operating business but also how it reformed the way his company worked, how they become more productive and better hands-on as designers when they decided to go ‘cold turkey’ 3D.

Through my work I build BIM models from other people’s designs, either during the official design process, following it as part of preparing construction tenders, parallel to building the real thing or even post construction for settling residual claims between parties. ArchiCAD imports PDF’s as Drawings (as opposed to images) 2.

I should start with a disclaimer: I model in Archicad 13; That is whenever I need to assess something quickly and am not constrained by other project-needs nor the limitations of the software itself. So, what I am about to write may no longer be an issue in Archicad 14, nor the other modelling packages people use.

Something that first occurred to me more than a dozen years ago when I still drove AutoCAD as a pro too: Archicad was made for the thinkers and doers, the hands-on solution makers. Still, when I put on the hat of the ‘virtual design manager/construction coordinator’, I go for Archicad. Biased and proud of it.

In Archicad. Today, at the end of a long working day, I’m too droopy to do all of these steps and pull the form into Archicad. The form came as a jpeg. Typically I’d print it off, hand-write the data, scan it back to the sender. I walk from my desk to the other, a couple of times. And worse of all: I have to handwrite the document!

Autodesk products are conveniently bundled together – not so ArchiCAD and Vectorworks (owned by the same company: Nemetschek). However the high number using ArchiCAD reflects the strong hold this company holds over the architect and architectural designer market (81% of respondents). Then, look at the chart itself!

I found it in Archicad’s Object Depository while searching for something else. The object was obviously designed to be used within Archicad and supposedly by professional kitchen designers, yet the ‘output stamp’ was so highly pre-created that anyone with access to the software could make use of it.

I documented full houses in 3D ArchiCAD 20 years ago in our design studio, while she looked after our children. I designed and modelled iconic commercial buildings in Teamwork Architecture when we moved to a bigger town 15 years ago. Almost thirty years ago, I was first talking about computer modelling of buildings.

Something that would easily differentiate a Revit follower from a Vectorworks user, an Archicad fan from a GT enthusiast or Bentley buff. Why no significant alliances between any of the BIM software providers and those that make the paraphernalia designed to consume the fruits of their BIM? A colour, a piece of clothing, a haircut?

That said, BIM has been preoccupied with 3D visualization to the extent that many/most feel that Revit, Archicad, et al are all that’s needed to implement BIM. BIM is the life-cycle management of the built environment supported by digital technology. As as result advancements are slow and productivity gains remain elusive.
