Now ArchiCAD 15 provides the "shell" tool and better roof modeling.<br /><br />Looking back to geometry+attached info (as in regular CAD) versus info+attachedCAD (as in BIM), there were some good things in the "old" approaches and looking at the rise of Grasshopper and Generative Components, people are looking at ways to get rid of the geometry-limitations in BIM software.<br /><br />I'd like to use "any" modeling tool and attach to it "any" meaning (semantics). But the risk is that you loose a lot of the productivity gains as well. So hard to sell.stefkeBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11101340033056377955noreply@blogger.com
