Improvements of Update 2
I had Archicad 16-for Windows 32 installer in a USB memory unit that unfortunately I lost. I'm a student and It was provided to me by Graphisoft a while ago. It was the student version though. I use Archicad 16 because that's what my limited equipment can handle. Had to replace my Hard Drive which after 14 years of service, died. When I got a new Hard Drive and it was time to bring programs and information back to the computer, I realized didn't have the USB which was gone for good. I asked the fellows at Graphisoft for the installer and they told me they don't carry that old version no more and couldn't help me. Could you help me? Do you know of anyone who has the installer? It'd be wonderful if you can. Let me know please. Thanks.
Also in Windows File Explorer, if you right click on a file and open the 'Properties' information, you can go to the 'Info & Preview' tab and it should show you the Archicad version it was saved with.
Development of Archicad started in 1982 for the Apple Lisa, the predecessor of the original Apple Macintosh. Following its launch in 1987, with Graphisoft's "Virtual Building" concept, Archicad became regarded by some as the first implementation of BIM.[1][2] However, ArchiCAD founder Gbor Bojr has acknowledged to Jonathan Ingram in an open letter that Sonata "was more advanced in 1986 than ArchiCAD at that time", adding that it "surpassed already the matured definition of 'BIM' specified only about one and a half decade later".[3] ArchiCAD has been recognized as the first CAD product on a personal computer able to create both 2D and 3D geometry, as well as the first commercial BIM product for personal computers[1][4][5] and considered "revolutionary" for the ability to store large amounts of information within the 3D model.[6]
Archicad is a complete design suite with 2D and 3D drafting, visualization and other building information modeling functions for architects, designers and planners. A wide range of software applications are integrated in Archicad to cover most of the design needs of an architectural office:
Archicad allows the user to work with data-enhanced parametric objects, often called "smart objects" by users. This differs from the operational style of other CAD programs created in the 1980s. The product allows the user to create a "virtual building" with virtual structural elements like walls, slabs, roofs, doors, windows and furniture. A large variety of pre-designed, customizable objects come with the program.[citation needed]
Archicad software offers the flexibility to work with a 2D or 3D representation on the screen. Although the program's database stores data in three dimensions, 2D drawings can be exported at any time. Plans, elevations, and sections are generated from the 3D virtual building model and can be constantly updated by rebuilding the view. Detail drawings are based on enlarged portions of the model, with 2D detail added in.[citation needed]
Archicad released its first file exchange based Teamwork solution in its version 5.1 in 1997, which allowed more architects to work on the same building model simultaneously. A completely rewritten Teamwork "2.0" solution with a new database approach came out in version 13 in 2009 named Graphisoft BIM Server. Since only the changes and differences are sent to the central storage, this solution allows remote access to the same project over the Internet, thus allowing worldwide project collaboration and coordination. In 2014, with the introduction of the BIMcloud, better integration is provided with standard IT solutions: browser-based management, LDAP connection, and HTTP/HTTPS based communication. Also, new scalability options are available, by allowing multi-server layouts to be created, with optional caching servers.
Third-party vendors and some manufacturers of architectural products have compiled libraries of architectural components for use in ArchiCAD. The program includes Geometric Description Language (GDL) used to create new components. Also, API (Application Programming Interface) and ODBC database connections are supported for third party Add-On developers. Via direct API links to 4D and 5D software such as Vico Office Suite or Tocoman iLink, the Archicad model can be exported to BIM-based cost estimation and scheduling. Archicad is also directly linked via API to Solibri's Model checking and quality assurance tools.
Archicad can import and export DWG, DXF, IFC and BCF files among others. Graphisoft is an active member of BuildingSMART (formerly the International Alliance for Interoperability, IAI), an industry organization that publishes standards for file and data interoperability for built environment software. Graphisoft was one of the founders of the Open BIM concept, which supports 3D BIM data exchange between the different design disciplines on open-source platforms.
Commercial, educational and fully functional 30-day trial versions can be installed with the same installer. As long as no hardware protection is present or the software is not activated with a trial or an educational serial number, ArchiCAD can be launched in demo mode. The installer files can not be downloaded without registration. The educational or trial serial numbers can be obtained after registration.
ArchiCAD is available in a number of localized versions. In addition to a translated user interface and documentation, these versions have a set of parametric objects (object libraries) developed considering the specific requirements of the regional market, and different default values for object properties, menu arrangements, etc.
Various free and commercial add-on products and extensions add extra functionality to Archicad or provide further data exchange possibilities with other software applications. Some of these extensions are developed by Graphisoft, such as the freely available Trimble SketchUp, Google Earth or Maxon's Cinema 4D import/export add-ons or other extensions sold separately such as Graphisoft MEP Modeler, Graphisoft EcoDesigner or Graphisoft Virtual Building Explorer; while there are a number of add-ons provided by third-party vendors, such as Cigraph or Cadimage.
Develop your own parametric object library without scripting! Create doors, windows, and other parametric objects easily with graphical editing methods. The Library Part Maker tool makes object creation a breeze.
Based on user feedback, the efficient and user-friendly 2D editing enhancement in Archicad 26 saves time and helps maintain consistency among interactions when using Radial Stretch of circles and ellipses.
No project is too big for BIMcloud, now with an increased file capacity of up to 100K + files. Improvements to security and control over file version history make BIMcloud your best project team collaboration tool.
So... for a long time now, I've been setting up VIEWS in ARCHICAD with the proper camera settings including TIME OF DAY. These views would then transfer over to ENSCAPE by merely using the CAMERA TRACKING button...
Having the Enscape preview version 4 and even 3 installed on my machine, using ArchiCAD 25 as well, I am not able to reproduce this behavior I'm afraid yet - Adjusting the time of day or Altitude / Azimuth works fine and gets translated into Enscape, as long as the synchronization is turned on of course.
Would you mind briefly submitting me a report so that I can at least check the logs right away for any particular potential errors which may cause this? Perhaps our developers may also look into it to find out more about why you experience this.
Last but not least, can you share a screenshot of me in which I can see you being able to adjust the LAT /LONG through Enscape itself? It may sound like a weird request but has its reason. Thank you in advance.
Thanks a lot DGD-Duane , we have received the report and will further look into it, I appreciate that and the further reply + requested screenshots - Meanwhile, as per my colleague's reply, it cannot hurt to update your GPU drivers to at least avoid other issues that may occur alongside having rather outdated ones installed (let me know of course if it affects the main issue in any form positive or negative).
EDIT: To add, since I've yet to be able to faithfully reproduce this issue, please kindly also feel free to upload an example scene (you could use the existing project and remove most of it if you like) for me via wetransfer.com for example, if the GPU driver update did not make any difference.
The main objective of this Archicad training is to demonstrate the new features included in Archicad 27 through a project workflow scenario and familiarize architects and engineers with how these features can be used to streamline their workflows and improve their design and collaboration processes. By the end of the training, participants will be able to integrate the new features into their existing workflows and take full advantage of the improved capabilities of the software. Overall, this training aims to equip attendees with the knowledge and skills necessary to enhance their productivity, efficiency, and design capabilities using Archicad 27.
