but...are you doing a double-click on ArchiTerra?
It's an add-on so it should launched inside ArchiCAD!

The .apx file needs to be in the "Addons" folder'. Mine is here:

C:\Program Files\Graphisoft\ArchiCAD 11\Add-Ons

Hi Doug,
I've just tried to put the file in the "add-on" folder, and still have no hope....= . =....
Shall I need to check on the window website look for an appropriate software to read the .apx file??

Have you tried reloading the libraries?

Edit: In archicad go to The options menu. Click Add-On Manager- Edit list of available addons- Search for more addons. Double click the addon to load it.

Hi Doug,

it's working now!!! it was silly that I've tried double click on the apx file it self!! infact, when I located .apx file in the place you've suggested, it's automatically appear on the Archicad programe @ Design>>Design Extra & >>> Architerra 3....hahahah....

Thanks.

Hi everyone, I have a question in Archicad 14. I have enabled the architerra 3 plug-in, it shows it in add-ons list, but I can't understand how to get to the panel of the Architerra itself, searched whole program, searched on internet, but can't find a single clue.
Thanks in advance
