PowerCADD Forum

Hello all,
I’ve used PowerCADD since the PowerDraw days of the 90’s. Like many in this forum, I’m a PC fan, and I’ve been a two-computer office - two per workstation - for a long time now. In the last 6 months or so, we started using Archicad in the office…not me, but my employees . We still have PowerCADD on a couple of stations - mine, of course - and still use Sketchup some. I’m not crazy about Archicad, but I am happy about certain BIM features, and the speed & efficiency it affords.

I am excited to see what the new PowerCADD looks like, and what’s its capabilities will be.

I’m pretty late to the conversation I guess … But are there going to be any 3D and/or BIM capabilities in the new PowerCadd?

So excited I’ve ordered a new M3 Pro to run this - can’t wait

Just a quick note to reassure the PowerCADD community that we are committed to the modern PowerCADD. We have encountered a number of technical challenges and unexpected medical issues with our team that have us far behind our goals. At this point, we hope to release a public beta around the middle of December.  We are looking forward to sharing the new PowerCADD with you once we feel it will meet your expectations

I am sorry to hear about the medical issues, but thank you for the update!

Thank you for the update David. Hopefully the medical issues you mentioned have been resolved in an encouraging way. Thank you thus far for you and your teams commitment on updating PowerCadd.

Looking forward to see the fruits of your hard labor.

All Best, Bill

NeilY,

Did you get the Mac Studio or Mac Mini?

Thank you David, for this much-needed news in the twilight of year 2023. You're talking about 15 days from here - I can't wait! All the best

Can't hardly wait. Thanks for the update. Hoping the medical issues were not too serious and that the team recovered fully.
