Did you load the accessory library?

It's a separate library from the main one, at least on v24

Did you install the correct language version for the goodies?

The same as you Archicad language version.

Or do you have a custom Work Environment active?

Check the Add-on Manager to see it is installed properly.

That will also tell yo the location of the commands in the menus.

I guess un-install the English Goodies.

And then install the Italian ones.

I have no Accessory file in Archicad 26

It looks to me as if Archicad 26 dose not have the Accessories anymore. Big loss to me.

Is this a reduced cost upgrade/version or something. It seems to me that it is not as functional as 25, which was only a very marginal improvement over 24.

So you have installed the USA goodies?

Do you have the commands in the menus?

If you do and you have no library objects, you must manually load the Accessories library that is located in the Program folder for Archicad.

If you don't, then can you show a screen shot of you Add-on manager.

I know. I downloaded the file . exe from that directory (https://Graphisoft.com/it/downloads/goodies/ac26)

the file is also contains "ITA" in the name

Well, if you have installed the Italian Goodies and they are in English, then I would contact you local Archicad support and see what they say.

That certainly seems to be the correct file you have downloaded.

Or do you know anyone else that has installed the Italian goodies?

Do they have the same problem?

Hello, Any solution on this? I face the same problem. Spent half a day trying to fix it, reinstalled everything twice.

Re: Installing Goodies 26

What language version of Archicad do you have?

I assume you installed the correct language version for the goodies?

Can you show a screen shot of your Add-on Manager - does it show accessories add-on has been installed.

Barry - are there any additional updates on how to install the accessories. I have a similar issue with 26. I downloaded goodies. Updated 26 again to my current install 3010. I linked the library with the accessories. I have copied a screenshot of my Add-On Manager below. It does not have the Locations in the user Interface that you highlighted above. The accessories doe not show up under Design Extras. I also enclosed a screenshot of my work environment (where I thought I had added them in the past). Any thoughts on how to resolve this?

Much appreciated - Katrina

There is an issue when installing goodies for 26.

If you install Archicad 26 then start it, then install the goodies, they will not appear in your menus even when you update with the latest hotfix.

You have to add all of the menu items in yourself, which means you need to know what commands to look for and where they go.

It is easier to just reinstall Archicad 26.

I believe just running the installer again and running it as a 'repair' option is good enough - you don't have to un-install it first.

But the trick is - don't start Archicad.

Before you do install the goodies and then update with the latest hotfix.

Now you can start Archicad and you should see all of the goodies commands.

See this post for more of an explanation ...

Hi guys, I had the same problem in the polish version. I'd installed everything but the buttoms (menu) didn't appear.

But my solution was just to put a hot key for extras what I needed (interior wizz.) and it had worked.

That is probably because you have already been using Archicad before you installed the goodies.

Yes, you can manually add your own menus, toolbars, shortcuts, to then use the goodies.

But you have to figure out what ones to add.

To automate it all, re-install Archicad (repair option is fine), don't start after install, install goodies, install latest Archicad update and now you can start it.
