I saw this demo'd at ICC and it looks to be an awesome resource to help with architecting both simple and enterprise-level architectures, taking server resource requirements into account.
It's useful as an Exchange resource to deploy locally, but are there any plans for IA to host this publicly? This would make it even more accessible without requiring Ignition installed locally.
Maybe as part of their online demo.inductiveautomation.com...
What would make this great is if the app would query the IA website for pricing, making the prices current.
Plus the ability to apply discounts based on integrator status. What most likely won't be able to be accounted for is exchange rate though for those of us outside the US, but that's where quotes come into play
What session at ICC was this demo'd in?
It wasn't in a session, it was in the 2nd floor hallway area. I didn't see it there until someone pointed it out to me
There are no concrete plans to host this publicly right now, though the introduction of Workspaces would certainly support the idea. The tool's current Third Party Module implementation is designed to allow each user the ability to modify their copy of the project to support the Third Party Modules they use or offer publicly or privately.
Workspaces is also planned to have a module pricing API that the tool can be updated to leverage. The tool was built to be completely standalone, allowing integrators and end users alike to run the project offline with all of the module and pricing information readily available.
A flat discount rate is already exposed as a session property within the tool. Simply set session.discount to the percent discount you want applied. For example, session.discount = 10 would apply a 10% discount to all module selections as well as apply the proper support discount.
Please note that this tool is not meant to be a replacement for quotes from Inductive Automation - Workspaces will fulfill that role in the near future. Rather, this tool is meant to document existing or hypothetical deployments including the ancillary items that interact with Ignition.
We've created a new thread dedicated to supporting the Ignition Architecture Builder. Please post questions, comments, suggestions, and bugs here. We look forward to everyone's input!
Level Up Your Systems: The Ignition Architecture Builder Beta is officially available!
We’ve been a little quiet lately, but for a good reason, we've been completely overhauling the Architecture Builder!
Why you should try the new Beta today:
Clearer Visuals: We tackled the pain points of the previous version head-on.
Smoother Experience: Visualizing your complex systems is finally intuitive and fast.
Built for You: We relied heavily on community feedback to get this right.
New Features: When is all said and done the project will contain features we've all wished we could have.
We need YOUR voice!
Jump into the Beta today and tell us how it feels. Drop your feedback, feature requests, or bug reports right here in the thread!
It works well—really smooth and intuitive.
Possible future improvements: ...because you asked for feedback
• An undo feature would be a really nice thing to have. While I was testing it, I accidently deleted my gateway and lost all of the connections I had made, and I couldn't find a way back short of recreating everything.
• If I land a connection on the wrong node, it would be nice to be able to click and drag the end to another node, but it doesn't seem to work that way. [not a big thing] I had to delete the whole line and simply recreate it.
Edit:
Great work! 
I don't know if they updated it since the other day but dragging the connection to another node does seem to work, you just have to click near the connection end instead of directly on it (which starts a new connection from that point instead).
Yup, that works. I was clicking directly on the node and ending up with a new line. Then, I pressed the delete key to remove the unwanted line, and the gateway the line was attached to deleted instead. 
lol
Check it out now. I was able to implement the undo/redo (ctrl+z & ctrl+y). Also try ctrl+f on the pane. It is a find feature that proves to be very helpful for those large architectures!
You work fast! I tested it, and the new features work great ~ I love the way the search tool zooms in on the selected component.
Fortunately our team had the same request and that set of features was already in the pipeline. We love the feedback, keep it coming!
