I believe that is a beautiful tool to have. In addition to the fit out tool you should be able to add the CI electrical components inside of it. And while you’re at it, create a CI plumbing tool. And please update the CI electrical tool to include electrical panel schedule. I’ve been asking for this for five years. Furthermore, the cabinet tool should be a part of it. The side tool should be a part of it as well while you’re at it include as much of your own CI tools inside of the fit out tool

Yeah, definitely building in the ability to handle electrical, plumbing, and cabinets makes a lot of sense, and is one of the directions that we can see that this tool could go in At this early stage we are still looking for feedback as to what would be of most benefit to people, so your response is much appreciated - thanks!

Is it possible that you guys can name your webinars?. ie. the title includes the topics covered. Maybe I am missing something? but its kinda painful having to try and remember or guess what topics were covered and when , and then sift through the online webinars to try and find the bit you need. If there is an easy way of doing this please let me know. Also, being an up to date software company, you think it would be possible to trim the 10 minute countdown off the start of the video? Thanks guys

Really interesting idea. But you realize that designers spend a lot of time refining the way our furniture and fittings look? You've already got ArchiCAD and CI libraries of furniture and cabinets that ArchiCAD users are invested in. And 3D Warehouse stuff can be imported easily now opening up the whole world of objects. Why reinvent the wheel with new beds, new cabinets, and new fittings, only to severely restrict available options... this seems like stepping back in time?

i get what you're saying, but the purpose of the fitout tool is not in the objects it places, but in the fact that it can place them automatically and allows easy reorganisation of the room layout once you are happy with your placements, you can then convert the objects to whatever you like, but the focus of the tool is the placement and manipulation, not in the objects themselves
