Release Notes

Archicad 10 Hotfix for both FULL and EDU versions (Build 1183)

This Hotfix includes important fixes for bugs discovered since the original release of Archicad 10 (Build 815/817). This Hotfix can be applied to any builds of Archicad 10 (Build 815 and above). Scroll down for a list of fixed bugs!

Please follow the steps below to download and install the Hotfix:

  1. Download the Hotfix by clicking on the file name on the previous page
  2. Exit Archicad before you start the installer
  3. Make sure that you have administrator rights on your computer
  4. Make sure that components of your Archicad installation were not renamed*
  5. If Archicad was installed in a network make sure you are connected to the same network**
  6. Double-click on the downloaded file to start the installer***
  7. Follow the instructions of the wizard to complete the installation

Important install notes:

  • The patch updates all add-ons shipped by Graphisoft, including
    installed goodie tools. Installer identifies add-ons by name, so in
    case there is a third-party add-on installed that has the same name as
    a Graphisoft add-on, the patch installer will fail to update Archicad.
    Please remove any such third party add-on before installing patch.
  • Users who have updated their IFC add-on to the version available at https://www.graphisoft.com/support/ifc/downloads/ should remove the add-on before installing the Archicad patch. Then they should reinstall the IFC add-on from https://www.graphisoft.com/support/ifc/downloads/
  • Important to ALL TeamWork Users

    Significant improvements will be applied with this Hotfix with
    regards to Teamwork functionality. All teammates should sign out of the
    project and exit AC before applying the patch.     All teammates should
    then upgrade to the same build number before signing back into the
    project. Problems could arise if this care is not taken.

* The Hotfix will not reinstall missing components and will ignore components that are renamed. In case you changed components in your Archicad folder, we
recommend you reinstall Archicad 10 from the original install CD before
applying the Hotfix

** Especially important for laptops

*** To run the installer Java2 v1.4.2 (or higher) has to be installed on
your computer. You can install Java2 v1.5.0 from your original Archicad
install CD
