structures rarely made sense to people that happily documented everything in black on white. I said, that colours could play a large part in demystifying AEC documentations for clients, contractors and everyone else involved. Applying a range of bold colours to represent different types of concrete (grey!)

I am a hands-on modeller and my speed, accuracy and ability to deduct useful information based on the model is highly reliant on how I can make use of the hundreds and thousands of PDF documents that are available for the stage/project I am working on. 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.

Some sophisticated Cloud Document Management systems claim to have solved the issue by focusing on the even bigger issue with PDFs that is managing the quantities they tend to be coming in. Could the problem be in lack of interest from Adobe to step up its offering for the AEC or are there some other reasons behind the scenes?

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. I walk from my desk to the other, a couple of times.

Archicad and Tekla are old enough to know this. My everyday work IFC is working well but I'm using ArchiCAD and engineer is using Tekla Structure. The IFC translation user interface in Revit is poorly documented and poorly presented. With some care, I was able to export useable IFC files from ArchiCAD. Newer Post.

A kind Scandinavian Archicad-expert posted a message on my blog: Well, look at what the Norwegian government building agency (Norway’s largest building owner) is specifying: [link]. and I read through it obligingly – adamant to suspend my cynicism and find the really useful in the document.
