Individual door settings in Archicad 28

prebennoer — Wed, 16 Jul 2025 08:53:12 GMT

It must be a bug or..?

In ArchiCAD 28, I can no longer "override" a single door and make one door more detailed than, for example, all other doors?

This is a function I have used repeatedly over time. It seems that detailing is now exclusively controlled via MVO and cannot be done specifically for a single door ?

I think that's a huge drawback if that's the case?

Does anyone have suggestions for another way to solve it?

SInce archicad 28 , all settings related to MVO are moved to MVO panel, you cannot control individual elements MVO

The problem is that, not all settings have been added to the MVO panel, and so there are some settings that you cannot use in the AC28...

This is unfortunately a huge step backwards from previous versions.

The intention is not necessarily bad, but the implementation was not good.

Thank you for the response! If that's true, it's really a huge setback for ArchiCAD 😳

As a long, long-time ArchiCAD user, it's a feature I've always used.

Why has it been removed?

Are there any alternatives?

Hi @prebennoer,

Starting with Archicad 28 Library Update 2, the Global Library will once again include the MVO Detail Level override.

Library Update 2 will be released together with Archicad 28 Update 1 on 11th March 2025.

Later, Library Update 3 will also include MVO related improvement.

Best regards,

Magdolna

Updated to Archicad 28 Library Update 2 and I'm still not seeing a way to override the MVO for opening lines in 3D.

Same as @Sam_F. I updated to 28.1.0 (INT) and still I am not able to do anything more than earlier...

Thank you,

Hopefully Library Update 3 will restore this functionality. Should never have been removed.

Hello Magdolna,

Just a follow up on this important matter. I don't see anything about his in the release notes of 28.2.0.

Thank you,

Are you referring to the Archicad update just released or the library update that has been out for a while.

They are 2 different updates and as far as I know must be done separately.

Yes, you are right. I needed to update the library too. But now that it's done, yes they did gave back the override MVO, but you still cannot modify the opening symbol... which was the only logic reason to override the MVO.

How can you differenciate existing than new doors ? Yes the frame and door can be grayed, but still, on huge printed format this is useless...

Daily frustration for me as I only do renos. Don't expect much from this company anymore. They have truely lost focus.

So sad honestly. I sometimes ask myself if there is any architect consulting in that company.
