I love working in the BIM environment and helping other architects work in a smarter, more efficient manner. I started using ArchiCAD in 2006, founded the Minnesota ArchiCAD Usergroup in 2009, and began blogging about ArchiCAD in 2010. I'm always looking for guest bloggers who also want to share their experiences with ArchiCAD and BIM.

Have You Tried Turning it Off and On Again?

Is ArchiCAD not acting properly? Object movement or 3D navigation is sluggish. The cursor keeps disappearing. Have you tried turning it off and on again? My brother is in IT and I’ve learned it’s a truism of computers. Don’t just close the file. Close down ArchiCAD. Restart your computer even. If ArchiCAD suddenly starts acting weird, 90% of the time this is the solution. Computers get weird. I swear there are certain keystroke/mouse click patterns that will shut down just about any program. And new users have a special ability to break ArchiCAD.
