I can’t say I like the look of this furniture myself but, if you’re aiming for a slightly retro look, these GDL objects might be just what the architect ordered.

A couple of months ago, I was telling you about a free download of David Nicholson-Cole’s “GDL Cookbook 3″ and saying how I was looking forward to the updated version. Well it’s out and it’s a free download as well. You can get it either as a single concatenated file or as 48 individual chapters. [...]

Graphiosoft are offering a stripped down version of ArchiCAD 11 for way below their normal price, the target market being small architectural firms. On the face of it, it’s a good move because small firms may be able to get by without features like teamwork, markup tools or even a printed manual. However, if you [...]

I’ve been looking for something like this for ages - in fact I even tried creating this font once many years ago. It wasn’t a very professional job but I used it for a while anyway.
Based on Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s typeface for the Hill House in Helensburgh, Scotland, this font has been created by the [...]

This is was a plugin that worked as a 3D object editor within ArchiCAD 9 but was never updated for v.10 - or so we thought. In fact, the original link referred to in an older post - gdl toolbox - freeware doesn’t work any more. Just when I’ve started to learn GDL, one of [...]

If only all manufacturers were as concerned about having their products accurately and easily inserted into CAD drawings. Marvin sets the standard by giving architects not just basic 2D drawings (dwg and dxf) but 3D symbols for ArchiCAD, ADT, SoftPlan, Chief Architect, Home Designer and SketchUp!
