Dear Community Members,
We are happy to introduce the latest versions of Archicad & MEP Designer.
In this 29.1.0 Update (4006 build) for all available languages, we introduce a handful of new features related to library management, collaboration, MEP design, AI Solutions, and more:
- When opening an older project in a newer Archicad version, users can now update all loaded library packages to the current version in just a few clicks using the new Replace All Packages option in the Library Manager. This provides a simpler and smoother library upgrade workflow and reduces manual updates.
- Users can now use the Bluebeam Connection Add-on in Archicad 29 with servers in all five supported regions (Germany, UK, Australia, US, Sweden). As a result, users can comply with data residency requirements, follow internal IT policies, and collaborate reliably with stakeholders in their region.
- We optimized BIMx export to produce smaller files more quickly. This makes projects load multiple times faster on web and desktop platforms.
- Users can now label hydronic systems with calculation results directly in floor plans and interactive schedules, with clear marking of individual sections. This ensures that MEP documentation always reflects up-to-date calculations, enhancing reliability, and reducing the risk of manual mistakes.
- Alongside these improvements, this Archicad update also delivers the latest AI Solutions update as well. AI Assistant now connects seamlessly with AI Visualizer for smoother concept image workflows, supports autocorrect for BIM Queries to make natural language selections more forgiving, and includes in-product update notifications so you can easily stay informed about the latest AI capabilities.
- With the new MEP Designer and CALHYDRA Connection, users can run precise, European and German standard-compliant hydraulic calculations and simulations directly on their piping models. This enables accurate and efficient pipe resizing with high confidence.
You will find the installers in the Updates section of our website.
If you would like to know further details, check the full list of improvements on the Archicad Update Release Notes or the MEP Designer Release Notes pages.
Please make yourselves familiar with these important updates, keeping in mind the Teamwork compatibility matters.
