I once wrote about how I had gulped down the ArchiCAD Koolaid. Subject: ArchiCAD and the Bigger Question Obviously we cannot go back to paper and pen, but what perils await us in the world of increasingly complex software, and how can we minimize the impact on our architectural practices? Well that drink now has an awfully bitter taste. Regardless of which company architects have partnered with, I wonder if my experience might be the first sign of a new reality?

And in my case, one that seems to simply shrug its shoulders as I struggle to maintain an ability to design and document my projects.ĪrchiCAD is an amazingly beautiful and powerful software program, but I wonder if it has grown beyond Graphisoft's ability to provide a stable working platform. Today, however, what happens when the software we depend on fails? We are beholden to a software company. In 15 minutes that workstation would be up and running again. When I first started my practice, the worst production slow-down might be a broken Mayline cable. This brings up the bigger question about how architects can protect their business from failing software.

Unfortunately, that notice never came, and while Graphisoft provided me with a few temporary work-arounds, I have experienced little improvement. After discovering this issue I contacted my local colleagues and had expected Graphisoft to issue a notice to all users.

GRAPHISOFT ARCHICAD 20 UPDATES UPGRADE
However, the recent update of ArchiCAD 20 and the upgrade to version 21 has tested my faith. I've been an ardent ArchiCAD user since verion 6.5.
