Alpine Engineering has developed a truss design program that promises to be the answer to many revit users prayers. The program is called Architectural View. It can import and export dxf files. It can work out the entire truss geometry corresponding to roofs which include trays, vaults, sky lights and such ....roofs of considerable complexity once its given wall bearing points and roof and ceiling profiles. A.View would seem to be the perfect companion product to revit architecture. The catch is that apparently Alpine has not put much effort into marketing - very few seem to be aware of their product - and they have recently made the decision to discontinue its support. And sooooo....it seems to me that if the revity community could let Alpine know just how valuable their A. View product is.... ...that revit users would happily pay the $295.00 to gain the power and control over truss layout and design this amazing program provides, a power and control over trusses sadly neglected by autodesk itself - then Alpine would re-establish suppor of it and all would be right in the world. http://www.alpeng.com/Architectural_VIEW11.html So - if you would like Alpine to continue to make A. View available - please respond by saying so here, and tell Alpine as well if you have the chance.
