ArchiCAD 7.0 Anniversay Bonus Libraries in 8.1

Anonymous
Not applicable
I am cleaning up my office and was about to throw away an old ArchiCAD 7.0 Anniversay package. THe package includes a bonus CD with libraries and textures.

Are the textures and library part compatable with ArchiCAD 8.1?

If so, how can I use the textures in ArchiCAD?

I have 120GB hard drives on my computer and no space problems. Does ArchiCAD run slower if I include all of these library parts and textures in my Master ArchiCAD Library which I load with each project?

Thank you,
John

Hey John

I would keep that Anniversary Library! It is compatible with 8.1, but I would recommend just loading it as an additional library, not part of your office library. It will definitely slow down the loading process and some of the names will conflict with AC Library texture names.

If you use a particular texture a lot, then copy it into your own office library and rename it. Then you can access it through the Material Dialog's texture button, like any other texture.

If you'd ever like me to come and show you any of this stuff in person just let me know!! (Yes - I am still keen to go to Hawaii!!! )

Cheers,
Link.

I would keep all the old AC packages ... still have a 5.1 CD somewhere. You never know what might crop up!
