Well, we prefer a constructive attitude which criticizes, also we attach for you two very simple examples. That is a pity because we think in the agency that, some where, we are also their forces.

We do not believe any more that that is a priority for them and we fear that it prefers to rather develop and integrate new "gadgets" than to honour their users. We start has to intend to speak about a version 10 but we fear that "Graphisoft" does not do anything to simplify the bill of quantities.We do not know exactly their strategy and they do not communicate much on the subject. You will be received well and this forum is very rich and interesting! Indeed this small community is very effective and if you speak a little bit French I invite you to often consult it. We are many users to say that in Europe, and always claim the same things.įor the drawings part, we are very satisfied, and we think it is one of best one CAD system ! Moreover we notice that no simple and concrete case of Quantity and cost report as a "commonplace house" for example is studied in the handbooks!

Id user of the wall 012 or 013 in breeze blocks in the layer " walls external" of story X, are sympathetic but if we just want quickly a beautiful list table with the quantity of materiel (the unit in m2, m3 or m has), a code possibly, a designation and a field to put a price and have a total cost by batch to diffuse for constructional works contracts, that's not really easy! Of course we know that we can do it, but we spend too many time and much energy for generate a simple multiplication and a total sum by batch?Īs for the possibilities of page-setting, they are ridiculous and noncompetitive for our agencies.įor us, we are far but very very far from what we hope to find for one of the most expensive software for the CAD building in Europe !. That's all we need ! A simple filter through the materiel would be also enough in many case ! Generally we need a simple cubage, an area, a perimeter or linear of 3D entities to which one needs to affect a simple multiplying coefficient to have the summary cost in different batchs, and that in an ergonomic way.

ARCHICAD 21 RELEASE DATE PROFESSIONAL
That's an old world ! In short we find nothing very demonstrative for helping us in our architects practices (also for our professional quantity surveyor ) ! GS should be wary because one day, it could maliciously loose its peace on the market by neglecting this complete side of our work!įirst, in documentation, GS develop various ancient concepts lists of elements, components, zones, ID management, adjustments recorded in a default folder named "IS_settings", Auto ID increase, nomenclature of openings with fields thicknesses, "pl-fill", "pl_txt_null", "pl _ num_null(df), pl_txt. Here frankly, we have many problems ! Often we wonder why we tire ourselves to build beautiful 3d models, because we think this part of our favorite software, would need serious lifting ! The Data Project Calculation is abstract complicated fuzzy and particularly indigestible !

We think the bad thing in AC in all releases is the" face" "Quantity, Cost estimate, technical specifications" !
