Hi fellow developers,

The ArchiCAD 18 API development kits are available in the download area. Don't forget to read the New Features Guide

Good luck,

Thanks Ákos

I am getting a compilation error in my plugin because all the files from C:\Program Files (x86)\Graphisoft\API Development Kit 17\Support\Modules\GSModelDevLib\Sources are missing in the AC18 API.

Hi Paul,

Please remove those .cpp files from the project; from AC18 they are compiled into GSModeler.dll/.framework.

Thanks Akos

There are a lot of changes not documented. For example, GSModeler replaced by ModelerAPI. And some documentation does not match the header files - DGSetItemImage for example. Plus changes to AppendToLocal, etc etc. There is really a lot of work to update plugins to run under AC18.

Another example - DGModalDialog - the documentation does not match DG.h.

I think there is a bad bug in the new AC 18 API. It looks like material GUID's are always returned as null. See the image below. Is there a workaround for this? We need to have unique ID for each AC material object. This works fine in AC 17 as you can see in the image.

Thanks

Hi Dave,

Unfortunately it's a known bug, we will fix this in the next AC18 hotfix update.

Tibor/Ákos - are you able to provide a response to the issue above pls? I cannot release an AC18 version of my plugin without a resolution to this issue.

Thanks

Paul
