The site is in French but the tooltips are in English and it’s mostly visual anyway; you shouldn’t have any problem finding an object of your choice. There’s a textures section that’s coming “soon”. All told, it’s a pretty good resource.

Why do they bury it so deep! I’d been under the impression that there had been no further development of the SketchUP (SU) import plugin since AC9. Ok, it’s still not available for the Mac (neither PPC nor MacTel) but the Windows version is available so why not let people know?
For AutoCAD users who are struggling to come to terms with the shortcuts in ArchiCAD (AC), here is a handy conversion guide compiled by Architect Geoffroy Magnan. What I liked most was one simple sentence telling me how to back up my AC preferences; that and the section on Library Management.

Edit: As Geoffroy himself says, in the first comment, it is still available at:

The AC-10 Splash Screen
I’ve been waiting for version 10 even since it was released worldwide but for one reason or another, Adroitec delayed the delivery. What surprised me most was the splash screen and what continues to surprise me is that the wonderful Amyuni PDF converter included in the package isn’t installed by default. It’s the best PDF software that I’ve ever come across.
While hunting for training guides other than the one distributed by Graphisoft, I came across a whole bunch of downloadable tutorials. Some I already have – but many are new. These include tips and shortcuts to speed up drafting, dimensioning tricks, a custom window tutorial and GDL-101 for beginners. Apart from the Training resources, don’t forget to look at other sections on the site that deal with CAD standards and (US) Government guidelines.

SelfGDL is a “detailed reference of all known GDL commands”. It’s still in the process of translation from German so we can expect some errors in grammar but my hat is off to the authors for the work they’re putting it. Now maybe I should start learning GDL a bit…

Free objects from Olivier Dentan including a Tent-maker object; this is modified from the original one created by Frank Chin – who is proving to be quite difficult to find on the net. There are references to objects made by him but none that I can find to download.
