Introducing The New Method Website

Here it is! I've been working hard on retooling the entire Method site over the last few months, and I am so excited to finally show it to you. If you're reading this in an RSS reader, check out the redesigned site in your web browser.

This site, along with my new Methodcast Quickies, are going to to really help you get better at your job - designing great architecture using your digital toolbox.

So why did I do it?

I made a video showing you how everything works and all of the behind-the-scenes changes that have been made. Please take a few minutes and watch it because we're all visual learners and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed (read: lazy) so I didn't type it all up.

The main takeaway here is that you now have the ability to support Method's future and help it to become even stronger. I hope you see the value in this new platform that makes sharing with you easier than ever, which also means sharing will happen more frequently.

Now that you've got all the info, please consider becoming a member by supporting this site. As you know, membership has it's privileges. 

Thanks!

P.S. If you see abnormalities or broken links, please let me know. There's bound to be some loose screws around here, and I'd love to tighten them all up.

ArchiCAD 17 is coming out, and it looks pretty good. One of the new features they’ve added is Priority Based Connections, where you can get construction documentation level sections and details anywhere in the model. This is one of the biggest problems in BIM today, because we can’t put all of the detail in everywhere, and this is a great development for saving time when drawings details.
