FAIL: New Libpack Concept

jp — Tue, 21 Jul 2026 11:39:32 GMT

New Libpack libraries are more work, not less. The good news, taking the version number of of each library part name to allow easy project upgrade to new Archicad versions. Thank you, you could have done this long ago. The promise that having multiple smaller libraries will be easier to maintain and will be updated individually is false. I received the libpack update that is 1.5GB, not a small file. Installed on my computer, then went to update the BIMcloud libraries. Yes, I can select all of them and then select upload, but on my computer it installed packs for other countries so I have to pick through and deselect files from the list. So I didn't just get one or two libpacks to upgrade with an easy path to update the BIMcloud server. Instead, a massive file with a tedious update process. How is this easier than the old monolithic libraries? All you needed to do was just remove the the version numbers from the part names. Job done move forward. Instead, you created a big mess. Looking at library manager is a mess. Maybe I will like this later after working with it, but currently, it is a failure. And no, I'm not just going to load the libraries i need for a project. If you don't have them loaded, you will never look for new objects to use. I'm very disappointed.

Yeah, with all of the localisation libpacks, there really needs to be a load preset that you can just select and possibly edit that loads all of the relevant libraries for your selected localisation with version comparision against anything that is already loaded.

ps. The AC29 libpack door and windows are still missing the MVO options that were added back in one of the AC28 libpack updates...
