This Hotfix addresses installation and update, collaboration, and other miscellaneous issues. The fixes are listed in full detail below.

List of improvements

Installation & Update

  • We fixed an issue that prevented the final Archicad 28.3.0 Update (build 6003) from installing after the Update Preview (build 6000). (DEF-25793)

Collaboration

  • We fixed a crash that occurred when importing IFC files containing comments. Such files now open correctly in Archicad regardless of the translator used. (DEF-24590)

Libraries & Objects

  • We fixed a system freeze that occurred when typing commands, causing keystrokes to be delayed and the macOS menu bar to disappear. (DEF-25270)

Project data & BIM

  • We fixed a crash that occurred when editing specific texts in schedules. (DEF-14724)

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.
