TAD Docs

It's free!

To use TAD, it is mandatory that you obtain a membership in our one of our team engagement systems.

To become a registered user of TAD, do this:

• register at our own Mattermost hosted chat system using this link

Once you register, a confirmation would be sent to your email address. You will need to confirm your registration at our Mattermost hosted TAD Community chat.

If you had already registered and forgot the password here is the info on how to recover it

Once you have registered, you need to use the the login credentials of the chat system to use TAD. This page on authentication explains what you need to do.

If you have some time, read till the end here to understand the how and why of this. Or you can return to this page later and read.

Currently, the membership is free. We would like to keep it free for ever. As it is free, we are keen to know that our offering is really being put to use. Earlier, we were noticing thousand of downloads from our site – but then realized that many are from automated bots and people who simply download without wanting to use. Hence we made registering at a chat system mandatory.

Please pass this information to other architects and other professionals in the AEC (Architecture, Engineering, Construction) industry too.

Note: The TAD chat system uses the open-source MATTERMOST chat system. So on the first page of TAD chat, you would see their message. We may implement other ways to register and may phase out the MATTERMOST system. Currently, the main one is using the Mattermost system.
