Installation Notes

  • The Update process will automatically search your computer for Archicad 18 (including MEP Modeler, EcoDesigner STAR and all Graphisoft Add-ons) and for Graphisoft BIM Server
  • Make sure you have administrator rights on the computer. Start the full installation process using an administrator account.
  • Make sure none of the Archicad components are modified (e.g. renamed).
  • If you are updating a BIM Server, also make sure that you are logged in as the user who installed it originally. For Mac users: make sure to mount the installation dmg while being signed in with the administrator account that you always use to install or patch Graphisoft products.

For Archicad

  • If you have multiple copies of Archicad on your machine, then the installer will automatically find one copy. If you want to update a different instance, you can use the “Browse” button to locate it. You will need to run the installer multiple times to update each copy of Archicad.

For Graphisoft BIM Server

  • We strongly recommend that you disable any virus checker for the time of the BIM Server installation.
  • The BIM Server will be stopped automatically, during the time of updating the BIM Server application, projects will be suspended.
  • If the BIM Server does not start immediately after installation, please restart the computer.
  • On Windows Server 2008 R2 or Small Business Server 2011 you have to manually stop all BIM Server services prior to applying the update.

Important Note for Teamwork Users

  • Working in Teamwork requires that client Archicads and the BIM Server/BIMcloud* all have the identical version and build number. Please make sure that you update BIM Server/BIMcloud* along with the Archicad client applications used in Teamwork.

* With an Archicad client application you can connect either to a Graphisoft BIM Server or to a Graphisoft BIMcloud. The current Update installer is able to update Archicad client applications and GRAPHISOFT BIM Server applications. The BIMcloud Update can be reached here.
