Archicad 25 Update 2 is out

[Gordana Radonic]

Hey Community, 

Today Graphisoft released the new update for Archicad 25 with enhancements to design, documentation, collaboration, and visualization capabilities — including the integration of Redshift by Maxon.

Archicad will automatically inform you whenever an update is available. You may read the List of Improvements here, while the update installers are available on the Downloads section of our website.

To find detailed instructions on how to access the update and what are the improvements in Archicad 25 Update 2, check out this article.

To learn more about Redshift, read the information on the 'Redshift for Archicad' page.

When you start exploring the Redshift solution, included as a Technology Preview in Archicad 25, you might want to read more details about the current limitations here.

Should you have any questions or feedback, please let us know!

Best regards, 

Gordana

It appears that this is an update for International Language version only ?  

Also, using the Check for Updates function in the program does not indicate there is any update available for 3011 USA version. Will there be an easier way to update for other versions later?  Archicad Keeps Getting Better - Archicad 25 Update... - Graphisoft Community

@Steve Jepson Yes! Here's the hyperlink allowing you to select the version you want to download: https://graphisoft.com/resources-and-support/downloads?localization=USA&type=AC&version=25

[Steve Jepson]

Thanks. I must have been looking for it before it was posted or something.   Check for Updates still not indicating that there is an update. 

[Noemi Balogh]

Just for the record: Check for Updates syncs with our servers once a day, and if we release the update after this time (somewhere in the morning in CET), what we definitely did this time, then your Archicad / BIMcloud will see the update only from the next day.

No mention of fixing the Monterey problems? All of us who are expecting new machines this week pre-loaded with the new OS are eager to know if this addresses some of those problems. Thanks!

Everyone please note!  Not all localized versions have the 4013 update available yet.  This page lists available AC 25 updates for all language versions:

https://graphisoft.com/us/resources-and-support/downloads?localization=–&type=AC&version=25#updates

As of this writing, the Update 2 (build 4013) is only available for:  AUS, GER, INT, NZE, UKI and USA. The other language versions will be coming...but Graphisoft has not said when.

[DGSketcher]

Just loaded up 4013, finger crossed I can finally use this version. Just wondering though, when will the MacOS Dark Mode interface ever meet a basic readability standard?

I for one am still struggling with mid grey icons on light grey buttons, black text on dark grey backgrounds (the label tool is one example), and the most annoying blue on black in the Navigator - Layout Book which is really difficult to read.

It's not like Dark Mode is a new thing anymore...

[Pavel Tsochev]

I quite needed those zone labels, that's a good addition in my opinion!

I am confused about the project start version and 4013 update compatibility.

I brought a project forward from 23 to 25.3011.

Can I update this project now with 4013?

[Chris Grantham]

@gdford I had no problem updating 25 to 4013 with a project I brought forward from AC 22.

[Barry Kelly]

Anything can be opened in 25.4013.

25.3011 can't open a 25.4013 though.

Just like 24 can't open a 25 file.

Basically 25.4013 is considered as a new version of Archicad, older versions can't open the 25.4013 files.

They need to be saved back as 24 file and then can be re-opened in 25.3011.

But there shouldn't be the need to do that very often if at all.

When it is planned to update Archicad 25 NOR version to 4013 ?

Also is it efficient to maintain so many Localised versions of Archicad ? Maybe Archicad should have language settings, localised libraries + template files only as separate updatable/download'able elements ?

[gdford]

Updating my V23 project to V25.4013 went without a hitch....

I really like the new Zone Label enhancements.

I have been waiting for that one for 18 years!

[gdford]

Actually - some custom doors built in 23 are causing fractal looking holes in various walls that hold the doors. I can probably rebuild the door in 25 and it will be fine, but have not tested.

[Laszlo Nagy]
