ArchiCAD 13 ... yes ..it is true !




Well... ArchiCAD 13 is just round the corner.. and Graphisoft decided that it is time to share the hot news with the world (woohoo!)..so lets keep it short .. and remember if you want the full official details click here, now what are the new toys?


ArchiCAD 13 Overview



In ArchiCAD 13, the major 2 points that you should consider are : Next-Gen Teamwork and Productivity Improvements  (English please ?!) ... ok ..


ArchiCAD 13 introduces the GRAPHISOFT BIM Server – a first of its kind solution for model based team collaboration. Industry-first Delta Server™ technology reduces network traffic to a minimum for instant and reliable data-exchange both within the office and over the Internet.



ArchiCAD 13’s significant productivity improvements provide users with best-in-class model based design and documentation workflow. With its 64-bit support on the PC platform combined with Multiprocessor support, ArchiCAD 13 becomes the most powerful BIM solution for architects.


More? fine...


ArchiCAD 13 Revolutionizes BIM Collaboration (It really does !)


Do you remember the issues you used to face sharing one file and working as a team ? well.. you should start erasing that from your memory ! say good bye to all of those issues with ArchiCAD 13 Next-Gen Teamwork !(watch it in action! click here)  now we are talking about :


Speed

In ArchiCAD 13's collaborative environment, long waiting times for server synchronization are a thing of the 

past. The leading-edge Delta Server

 technology dramatically decreases network traffic. 

The same technology makes BIM projects accessible

 through standard Internet connections from virtually anywhere in the

 world.

Data Safety

well you know the common rule... one computer is dead while you are working on a project as a team member = you are doomed? Data corruption due to network or hardware failure is a major concern for CAD/BIM Managers: a single faulty computer literally can ruin the work done by the whole office. But the BIM Server's robust system architecture ensures the integrity of the BIM project at all times. Any data errors from malfunctioning components are blocked, preserving the project's integrity on the network.


Workflow

ArchiCAD 13's new Teamwork, with on-demand element access and server-level conflict management, combines the flexibility of 2D workflows with the coordination power of the model-based world. Companies can utilize their workforce much more efficiently with a dynamic and centrally controllable design workflow.

AC 13 ... next version



drum roll ... drrrrrrrrrrrrr...drrrrrrrr.... AC13 is ... drrrrrr.....drrrrrrrrr .... HERE ! ..  or not :|

As you know we are close to AC13 .. you can check archicad-talk and have a laugh with the guys ..some of them are watching a live webcam from Budapest .. waiting for the sun rise, because they are expecting an announcement from Graphisoft about AC13, but ArchCAD talker "rwallis" didn't have that trust in Graphisoft..so he thought of different scenarios 

"What about midday Hungarian time? 
What about mid afternoon Hungarian time? 
What about an evening launch at a top secret launch party that we don't know about 
What about German time as the parent company is German(?) or is its HQ is the US... 
What state in the US is nemetschek? 

I'm still trying for 13 guesses..."


Well .. you Know I would have told you all what I know about AC13, but I won't because of two main things ...
1st. I just like the Idea that I know something that most of you don't know..Muhaahahahaha 
2nd.I was just looking at google analytics to see who is visiting this blog..and I found out that  Actually Graphisoft guys are checking this blog from time to time .. ( Hey guys .. nice meeting you :D )

And as I don't want to see them here with there guns ... so I will just keep my mouth shut .. and just wait for the official announcement :D
