Have you added the Goodies library to your file?

If you have installed the goodies after you have already used 26, there is a bug where the commands will not be added to the menus.

Solution is to manually add the commands to your menus in the Work Environment.

Or easier, is to re-install Archicad itself

No need to un-install.

Re-install and use the 'repair' option if it is offered.

Do not start Archicad.

Install the goodies.

Install the latest update.

Now start Archicad and the commands should be there.

2 versions later.....Had to do this for version 27 as well.

Also note, I imported my Work Environment of my previous uses and now the 3D Studio is missing.

Now I can go through and apply this to my old settings, but I think it would be nice to just right click in these fields then go to the version I want and paste the option I just right clicked on. Maybe, some how apply the feature of the Project Chooser > so you can easily see what you get, then I can have the Default version 27 and see the (in this case) 3D Studio then drag it over to my current settings. This is a feature if you're not familiar with or do not use over and over you have to do a refresh course to get things to work correctly. Just saying, "work Smarter not Harder".
