Downloading it now! The UAS Downloads Menu has disappeared, is it because it is being updated?

Check the URL has UK at the end: https://Graphisoft.com/uk and this will show the UAS Downloads subheading

There is an error in the downloads page, it still says download 25, when you click on that it then gives you Archicad 26.

Thanks. Do you know when the Library Part Maker and Additional Surface Catalogue, Libraries etc will be available for download? We're looking at rolling out AC26 asap, I've been testing it for long enough 😉

Thanks for the heads up! We are working on it currently to fix the link as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience.

No ARM version for the Mac?

At this point there are no features in 26 that are worth the SSA.

Eduardo Rolon — Thu, 14 Jul 2022 14:33:09 GMT

Nope, sometime in the future. If we are lucky, before 27 comes out.

See if this link works for you. If not USA or INT, you may need to change the version code in the URL:

Noemi, with zero hesitation, I can say the ability to organize attributes and layers using a hierarchical structure is my favorite feature. I've been dreaming of this for a long time. It's particularly timely since I'm re-doing my templates from scratch.

Feels like Graphisoft understood absolutely nothing from the drama of last year's launch.

While i get the direction of adding multidisciplinary features in order to better compete with Revit, it should have been obvious that taking development time from the Architecture side of AC will alienate the paying customers of today.

I am willing to pay for upgrades to what i bought, a tool to help me as an architect, i am not willing to pay for Graphisoft's custom aquistion of structural engineers.

Graphisoft, if you can see this, the frustration grows within the ranks of your current customers, stop being deaf and blind.

PS: Many AC firms are using macs, how do you think you can market DDSCAD, windows only, to us?
PPS: I wish you could have delivered at least what you told us you would (Native ARM support)

Wait until you use it. It does not work hierarchally.

It´s really a very nice feature. I can think of using it also when importing dwgs: you can send all its layers to a folder so you can keep them if needed, but not see them all around.

Too bad that this is basically the only new interesting feature. It seems very little for a version change 😥 I don´t know if I´ll come to love some other changes, but they seem very little ones,at least right now.

I've used it in the beta stage. I'm quite happy with it. Perhaps hierarchal was the wrong word. But I can definitely arrange things in a much more ordered way.

I liked that too. Now give me color coding ability for all plans and layouts in the navigator and the ability to hide unused plans in cloned folders and we might be on to something.

Also, maybe i got it wrong, but i could create some 3d documents that looked exaclty like in the 3d window, which is very nice.

Unfortunately thats it 😞

License manger is not updating keys so installing 26 will only let you work in Demo mode.

They said preview version in 2 weeks, then "normal" release sometime in Q4 2022.

...so yeah, non-constantly-crashing version in 27? 🙄
