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

Ramadan Kareem !

Here it is again .. Ramadan ! ( I've started to notice in the last few years..that Ramadan comes every single year ..never even skipped one !..what a hard working month !).

Any how..what happens in Ramadan is that I get more free time.. to try different things, lately I was playing around with a free Augmented Reality plugin ( remember the zombie game?).

so here are my few tries ! 

Ramadan Kareem... and Best Wishes !

Do they need a better stair maker ?

ArchiCADers where asking for a better stair maker for years, and in AC12 there were few adjustments, but still they are asking for more ( Hey ... can't you just get enough !? ) , however it looks that someone still needs a better tool . or people should reconsider their priorities.








Say what ?

Hmm...interesting for sure... 2D Caders? easy.. just shoot them ! then find out what software they are using.
