This Update addresses collaboration, documentation, modeling, and other miscellaneous issues. The fixes are listed in full detail below.

Collaboration

Libraries & Objects

  • “True or false” property values are now displayed as Headlines in Schedule. (DEF-18572)
  • When different Model View Options were selected for the Floor Plan and the 3D Window, querying 3D information for elements used the MVO of the Floor Plan; this has been fixed. (DEF-18538)
  • We fixed an issue that caused some projects to open slowly open due to wall thickness dimensions calculations. (DEF-18386)
  • Archicad no longer crashes when find & select is used to locate a recently deleted MEP route on a manual re-build section view. (DEF-18168)
  • Archicad no longer crashes during open and repair because of missing view setting. (DEF-18111)

This Update contains several improvements since the original release of Archicad 27. This package updates only Archicad and the installed Graphisoft Add-ons and Goodies. BIMcloud Basic and BIMcloud can be updated with a separate package, you can access the latest installer here.

To access the latest official Update for your Archicad, please use the “Check for Updates” command in the Archicad Help Menu.

Installation notes
  • The Update process will automatically search your computer for Archicad 27 (including MEP Modeler, EcoDesigner Star and all Graphisoft Add-ons).
  • 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 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.
