Free Download ARCHICAD 21 For Mac

I just started using the trial version of Enscape with Archicad. I'm doing interiors with a focus on light design but quickly found out Enscape has a lot of limitations when it comes to lighting.
Apparently Enscape is only mapped to Archicad's controls of switching the light on/off, light intensity and light color. So changing the light shape or illumination angle in archicad won't do much (if anything) in Enscape.
Would you post a simple example - a .3dm input from archicad, and the same file modified manually to the final point you want to go. The I can help you figure out the required steps to get from A to B.
Also what is your preferred programming language ?
Hi Mr. Agroni, could You expand on the limits of the software (archicad) that You have reached? What it is that you want to do that it can't do? (Other than truly automatic dimensions, of course, which should be a thing by now)
Also, for anyone with this kind of experience here, at what project size would it be recomended to try to implement this kind of automation?
This brings again a question we have been discussing before: Why should i, as an architect, learn to code in C or python? (i know Mr. Moonlight, as a very advancer user, is a big advocate of this). I mean, im totally into having better processes and stuff, but why can't i just pay for this add ons if i ever need them instead of putting years in learning to code? At what point is it better to do it in house?
We have survived so far without it, why now? what is the conceptual justification for this (other than the typical "everyone, eventhough i dont know who, is doing it and the ones that dont hop into the train or will be left behind")?. Some of the offices that advocate for this "automation" churn out generic boxes that they want to sell as architecture. Im not sure if we should go down that path that easily.
