Your show is really awesome! You saved me a lot of time and it was also a relaxed way of learning archicad, instead of reading boring books!
Hayden
Hi! I've just started using Archicad and now thanks to you Artlantis! Your tutorials are certainly the best out there for learning! Thankyou so much :)
Yvonne
Thanks so much for your fantastic podcast. I used to work for Apple here in Ireland (sales/customer support) and recently signed up for an interior design course in the evening, besides freelancing in graphics and being a filmmaker. We only have AutoCAD for PC in college. I was looking for a Mac-based solution which I could use in the future and signed up for the Mac student license of ArchiCAD. I also downloaded the add-ons. So far, there is none for google Sketchup Apple version, can I integrate it anyway, I wonder. I love it, it\'s so intuitive compared to AutoCAD. Please keep your brilliant podcasts going! I am thrilled to learn more and will follow loyally. Thanks so much, will tell people about your podcast, and think of you when I\'ll make it professionally and hit the jackpot. (-; Good luck! And keep the podcasts coming: Archicad basics, modelling, garden design are on my wishlist. Yvonne

Brilliant CAD Podcast for MAC users *****
by The Galway Girl
Thanks so much for your fantastic podcast, Apollo.
I've recently signed up for an interior design course. We have Autocad for PC in college but no MAC solutions. I was looking for a Mac-based solution and signed up for the Mac student license of ArchiCAD. I then discovered your podcast and I love it! Please keep it going!

This podcast is a great overview of how to get started with the best CAD/3D modelling programs available and see how the entire process unfolds. I like the multifaceted approach as well as the simple breakdown of each topic so that one is not overwhelmed by the lessons.
Great software tips! I look forward for future episodes.

This is awesome, i've been fiddling with Archicad on my own and a bit of nagging one of my class mates and even used it to do my final year project, but discovering your channel has made the program soooo much easier and now i don't need to nag anyone about :) Artlantis. Fabulous, thanks alot!!!

You should be hired to do the tutorials for Graphisoft. Their own are so over-complicated that they are no help at all to a beginner! Thank you for making me feel much more at ease for my upcoming placement.

This has been the most helpful of all tutorial videos I have seen on Archicad. I am not ashamed to say I am 52 just starting on Archicad and I knew I would find someone who could explain at a reasonable speed and in a logical manner.
