Updated: 15 July 2008

Latest:

News of V-construct services for VectorWorks training and...Should Apple buy Gehry Technologies? We have a series of new BIM articles related to Apple. And our Boylston Apple Store gallery....

Our forums have been turned back on as of July 15. Thanks for the patience.

News HyperShot 1.5, BIMVikings Win using ArchiCAD, Ashlar, Kinemac 3D, Grasshopper and more below...

Graphisoft announced ArchiCAD 12, we have an exclusive on multi-core support with the innovative BIM program and IMSI delivers IDX Renditioner.

Lots of new news below, including new 3D Toolbox, Siemens NX 6, Parasolid news and more!

AIA Show Photos and more below. More AIA reports below. Punch Software has announced a public beta of version 6 of ViaCAD 2D/3D.

AIA 2008 coverage has started here. We have our chat article with Chris Yessios here and a report from the AIA on Integrated Project Delivery.

Our BIM survey is going well but we'd like your help. So please take it and recommend it to at least one other architect friend. Thanks! Chance to win an Apple iPod touch!

We have a new Architosh 2008 BIM Survey Report we would like all architectural professionals to take. So tell your colleagues.

We have a new review of VectorWorks Architect 2008. It features over 6 QuickTime movies and lots of screen shots. Also read our new product review of Maxon's CINEMA 4D v10.5 here complete with several QuickTime movies demonstrating key features.

Big News! Houdini for Mac has been announced, early beta program started. Nemetschek AG re-launches global branding campaign and Acrobat 9 coming...see news below!

3D CAD on iPhone? You Bet!

Swedish-based Demicron announces Mac OS X Universal Binary version of WireFusion 5.

A new Cheetah 3D and a superb 3D event in Boston.

New: Please consider joining our Editorial Interview Group. Email us to learn more.

We have three new segments of our Interview Series with Sean Flaherty, CEO of Nemetschek North America: Articles 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 up now.

SolidWorks has denied the existence of a version for Mac OS X, which is clearly bad news for those SolidWorks users who love the Mac. Folks should not miss out on Tim Danaher's excellent IMSI TurboSketch Studio product review. A must read for SketchUp users!

Graphisoft had record attendance at its International Partner's Conference in Germany and in more ArchiCAD news a Denver architect is the latest BEK Competition winner.

Lastly in really hot news Luxology has Rhino and SketchUp plug-ins for modo 301 users. VectorWorks 2008 has been launched in Japan and Autodesk earned a Technical Academy Award.

Lastly, Ilexsoft has updated their HighDesign CAD program for Mac OS X.

This Month 5-Years Ago

Five years ago this month Autodesk announced MotionBuilder 7.5 after after Kaydara was acquired by Alias and then Alias by Autodesk. We wondered then how development would go for Mac users since Kaydara was a strong supporter of the Mac. Today MotionBuilder is still at version 7.5 -- albeit two service packs later. Let's hope Autodesk offers a major update soon!

New Architosh Site

We are currently designing the new Architosh v.3.0 site and would love to hear your thoughts and comments. Have an idea or wish? Need a feature in the site, have some great design idea? Let us know, we'd love to talk to you.

Architosh Forums

Join the best Mac CAD/3D/AEC forums on the Net. We have a new sign-up process (it is temporary) to help keep spambots out and good folks in. Well...actually we don't do anything to keep you in, per se!

New and Interesting Threads:

- What Revit can Do

- Rising Interest in BIM

- Full range of VectorWorks 2008 Training Now Available

- Autocad vs VectorWorks vs ArchiCAD

- SketchUp Maintenance release

Have a Question About Mac in CAD and 3D? Write to us at info@architosh.com. We'd love to hear from you.
