ArchiCAD 9 Hotfix (Build 2172) can be found within the ArchiCAD 9 application menus. Go to the [Help menu >> Check for Updates...]. When appropriately installed, ArchiCAD 9 [Help >> About ArchiCAD] will show as Build 2172. You may also use the mirrored links: ArchiCAD 9 Hotfix (Build 2045) Mac {48.5 MB} / Win {31.3 MB} This version is for non-EDU users only.

Anyone tried it?

And why would the mirrored link be for 2045?

HAS any Mac user been able to unzip it?
the file says that it is 48.5 but the download says 47.4mb and after downloading it three times it gives an error...

I am also having trouble unzipping the file. I've downloaded it twice and tried unzipping it on both MacOSX 10.4 and MacOSX 10.3. In Tiger, the status bar during unzipping stalls out about two thirds the way through and then the task disappears. In Panther, the status bar spins spearmint barberpole for about 30 seconds and then the task disappears. By the way, Stuffit Deluxe 8.0 also had problems opening the file.

Am I double-clicking the file incorrectly? (kidding)

Did others on the Mac platform use a third-party utility to successfully extract the goods?

Ted, good to hear from you. No unzip issues here. I have not actually completed the upgrade (was hoping someone more adventurous might take the plunge and report back -the settlers take the arrows), but it did unzip successfully and I have run the "Hotfix Installation Wizard", at least to the splash screen. Gosh hate that word 'wizard' it's so.... Microsofty I downlowded with the latest ver of Safari.

Weird that mine (10.4.3 and Safari 2.0.2) won't unzip to the splash-screen of installer love.... I'll keep hammering...

I hope all is good and prosperous from Soquel to Scotts Valley (and that all is righteous with his Chazzness)

I'm on OS 10.4.2 and I updated the three copies of AC that I usually use. It froze and crashed on start up on all three AC copies. Sent off the bug report to GS.

Went back to the previous update and all seems to be fine.

Downloaded and installed the update. Everything seems to be working fine so far.

Edit: Not fine; see later post.

I'm sorry, I am on a Mac, G5, 4meg ram, OS 10.4.3. Crashes are occurring in ArchiCAD on an existing file which I'm trying to modify (Changing window parameters and some trim objects). They seem to happen when I "save" in an elevation window, not, so far in the plan view. Still testing... RBG

Had a problem with accessing project files on the server with the new build.

Hi,

I have been to the download section on Graphisoft Support and can find no mention of a build 2172 update. The current build referred to for hotfix 3 is 2045. Am i missing something obvious here or....not?

You can get to the download by going to the help menu from within Archicad. I figured this was a security feature to ensure that only current users can get to the download.

I was (finally) able to load 2172 on a few machines this morning. I wonder if there is a difference in the files linked at the following Graphisoft sites:

http://tr.graphisoftus.com/

http://www.graphisoft.com/support/archicad/downloads/update.html?_submitted=1&version=9&lang=USA&build=2018&platform=Mac&type=FULL

I was never able to successfully extract the file downloaded from tr.graphisoftus.com (even trying/testing on Macs outside our office). Errors such as "end of central directory not found" were common. The file downloaded from the other site extracted flawlessly.

Something to check, I guess?

Same thing happened to me. By some strange reason I was able to connect to graphisofts.com and download it and extract. The file downloaded from tr.graphisoft.com never did unzip successfully.

Graphisoft has repaired the link at tr.graphisoftus.com for the Mac 2172 hotfix so that the file can be successfully downloaded and unzipped. While they were at it, I also asked them to repair the 2045 v. 2172 typo. Onward.
