Converting file from educational version to commercial

Anonymous — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 16:28:26 GMT

Hi,

I am part of a small office without an ArchiCAD "guru". A project that was originally started in the educational version now needs to be converted to the commercial version. How do I go about this. Thanks for your help.

You don't convert. You start over. First it's illegal to use the educational version for commercial purposes, and if you could, Why would anyone spend south of 4 grand for a commercial copy?

Can't remember if you can print a copy of Educational pln or not, but if you can:
A partial work around might be:
Print floor plan(s) to scale you like.
Scan and use as "trace reference" as guide to rebuild in your new full version.
