This blog is about using BIM on a day to day basis. I cover ArchiCAD tips and tricks, BIM and management thoughts, and occasionally how this all relates to the Minnesota ArchiCAD Usergroup (which I started in 2009). The specifics are about ArchiCAD—that’s the software I use and sell—but the overall themes are relevant regardless of your software. Programs are just tools. BIM is a mentality.

ArchiCAD 15 Hotfix #2 (Build 3602)
ArchiCAD 14 Hotfix #6 (Build 4204)
Here’s something worth reading now as well, from the release notes:
Notice to users who have both ArchiCAD 15 and ArchiCAD 14 installed
ArchiCAD 14 Hotfix 6 (build 4204) should be applied together with ArchiCAD 15 Hotfix-2. This should be done, to address Activity Monitor problems common to both BIM Server modules. These fixes will only be fixed completely if both modules are fixed simultaneously. To emphasize, you only need to apply this if you have the ArchiCAD 14 BIM Server module installed.
Follow the links to read more about each hotfix and download it. AND remember to update everyone using Teamwork 2 (including the BIM Server) at the same time.

ArchiCAD 15 Hotfix (Build 3267)
Remember to update everyone using Teamwork 2 (including the BIM Server) at the same time. AND in addition to the regular updates… Between September 20 and October 31, all BIMx installations (which means EVERYONE using ArchiCAD 15) are enabled to save and share full BIMx files that can be viewed on any computer device without limitation. Now that’s an awesome hotfix! So open up all your files and save out BIMx files to share with your clients non-stop. Don’t forget you can open old files in v15 and save them out to BIMx too.
And while we’re talking about BIMx, here’s two resources you should read up on as you start playing around with BIMx on your iOS products:

Who else caught this on the LinkedIn ArchiCAD page recently? I never knew Graphisoft released fixes to ifc bugs between the regular hotfixes. In all honesty this doesn’t effect me at all. The majority of my work is residential. I do all the architectural, structural, and electrical drawings in ArchiCAD. I rarely have to share my data with anyone using anything more than an old version of AutoCAD. But I also know that times are changing and that everyone is getting more tech savvy. The time is fast approaching when I’ll need IFC Hotfix previews.
