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

List of improvements

Collaboration

  • Archicad now correctly imports the IFCMaterial of BREP Walls. (DEF-25026)
  • Fixed an issue where starting text with underlining caused the entire text to appear underlined in DWG exports. (DEF-24115)
  • We resolved an issue that caused Archicad to freeze during IFC import or merge due to miscalculated file paths. (DEF-22970)

Modeling

  • Fixed an issue in Archicad 28, where holding the Shift-key while moving elements vertically in 3D caused slowness. (DEF-24311)
  • Design option combinations are no longer duplicated when modified elements are added to issues, preventing potential freezes or crashes. (DEF-22997)
  • Archicad no longer crashes when you label MEP elements in section views that have zero depth. (DEF-24623)

Project data & BIM

  • The Element Type criteria list for Schedules in Archicad 28 now includes Corner Window. (DEF-24628)
  • Values now round correctly in schedules when working in centimeters and displaying in meters. (DEF-24577)
  • Using the “Convert to string [STR]” operator in property expressions no longer causes a crash. (DEF-21672)

Teamwork & BIMCloud

  • Batch relinking no longer causes drawings to get stuck in “Not read yet” status after migrating Teamwork projects to AC28. (DEF-23549)

Installation & Update

  • A large number of recent projects no longer slows down Archicad’s startup or Home Screen loading. (DEF-23373)

This Update contains several improvements since the original release of Archicad 28. 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 28 (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.
