According to the AC28 New Features FAQ, you have to write mmarosvari@graphisoft.com. They also say that a more user friendly version will be published around the AC28 release. I haven't found anything yet though.

Hi @BerndSchwarzenbacher ,

The screenshot @JLopes showed is already about the user friendly version, that can be downloaded from here:

I'll update the link, also the FAQ, and the tutorial video can be expected around 17th October.

Hi Magdolna, Thank you for your manual, it works! And I found the key is we need to use ac 28 to export AND import. The reason I failed was to use ac 27 open the file and export , then used ac 28 to import.

(ps: There will be many favorites that will not trans correctly which will need to rebuild manually.)

Thank you again. Have a good day!😀

Hi @Patrick_lgs ,

The conversion works the same way in all language versions. Could you please provide more details about your exact issue?

Regards,

Magdolna

well,

I followed the steps on the pdf you provided

After the failure I downloaded the INT version of AC and it worked perfectly. But I can use the favorites converted because then I have a mix of ING and POR language.

@Magdolna Marosvari

Does this apply to the Mapping Value Table as well with regards to the video?

There is a link but currently it does not work.

Hi @Barry Kelly ,

Thank you for letting us know about the warning, it'll be fixed soon.

Meanwhile you can find the Mapping Value explanation video attached.

The library package developer documentation is on its way too, it can be expected in the upcoming weeks.

Best regards,

Hi @Natalie Adams ,

The Favorit Converter video is a bit late, it can be expected in the upcoming weeks.

In the meantime you can use this documentation to see how it works. It has lot of screenshots to make sure that the workflow is clear. The video will show the same just in video format.

Best regards,

Magdolna

Hi @Patrick_lgs ,

Thank you for the further info. To have a clean start, may I ask you to delete the files and folders you show, then extract the ZIP file again to a different location, and from there manually add the add-on in to the add-on manager? We could reproduce this error by deleting the libpart_pairs.csv from the favorite_converter_data folder, so probably your file arrangement got mixed up during multiple tries.

And indeed the result of the converter is independent of the language version of Archicad, so you can use the ones generated by INT. Because it doesn't use data coming from Archicad, only data from the folders and files next to the add-on.

Regards,

Magdolna

Yeah, agree with you on this and am not sure if the converter really does work? Does it also have any difference migrating an Archicad 27 project over to Archicad 28 and then from there you export the favorites, seems to work since am rebuilding it also... Any thoughts on this? Thanks!
