Yesterday Nemetschek (makers of Vetorworks) announced plans to aquire Graphicsoft (makers of ArchiCAD). I guess I could say more than I think Archiworks sounds better than VectorCAD. They are both strong programs with good followings and I believe getting together now is a smart move for both. Although, it kinda feels like the Geeks and the Goths just banded togther to compete with the popular kids.

The default Revit keyboard shortcut for this is UP.
