There's no way to make new add-ons from within Archicad.

If you have already created such a database, just click Open Database to open it, then click the 'new addon' button. Otherwise, click 'new database' and fill in your Developer ID as a four character code.<BR /> <BR /> Karl Thu, 20 Sep 2007 00:20:14 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Archicad-C-API/Developing-with-the-Educational-License/m-p/39663#M7545 Karl Ottenstein 2007-09-20T00:20:14Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Archicad-C-API/Developing-with-the-Educational-License/m-p/39664#M7546 Thank you Karl, I am stupid <IMG src="https://community.graphisoft.com/legacyfs/online/emojis/icon_confused.gif" style="display : inline;" /> Thu, 20 Sep 2007 07:07:56 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Archicad-C-API/Developing-with-the-Educational-License/m-p/39664#M7546 Anonymous 2007-09-20T07:07:56Z
