ArchiCAD 11 user quotes
“I have used 2D software for many years and have recently been evaluating other BIM software. Suddenly, they are way behind and at Irwin Pancake, we are way ahead with ArchiCAD 11.”
Ulises Araujo at Irwin Pancake Architects, US
“We had a school project up in Liverpool. Lots of curved walls with a fairly complex steel structure. Drawings went back and forth between our designers and the structural engineer. With ArchiCAD 11’s Virtual Trace function and the slider, we could have seen problems more easily and lots of time would have been saved.”
Andy Meek, from HLP, UK
“ArchiCad 11 addresses our firms concern for how junior staff can quickly, and independently, be trained to comprehend a virtual building model. With the aid of virtual trace they will develop an understanding of the 3-D modeling components in relation to a traditional 2-D set of design or construction drawings - a great benefit to our productivity.”
Daniel Grandy from Anshen + Allen, US
“With ArchiCAD 11’s Virtual Trace technology and the slider, we could see problems more easily in our project and lots of time has been saved”
Mats Marquardt, ĹWL, Sweden
“The Curved Slanted Walls and the Virtual Trace are my favorite features. As we frequently use free forms in our design, we are able to use the new feature in ArchiCAD 11 in a very beneficial way.
”
Ronald de Graan from RAU Architects in the Netherland
“Virtual Trace is a very flexible new feature…, it sparks the imagination of users since there are so many different ways it can be used to enhance coordination. It will definitely affect our workflow and our ability to differentiate what has been modeled verses drawn in 2D.”
Eric Batte from McCleary/German Architects (MGA) - Houston, US
