WOW,where can I download this tool! I have to convert my favorite too!!

THX!

According to the AC28 New Features FAQ, you have to write mmarosvari@graphisoft.com. They also say that a more user friendly version will be published around the AC28 release. I haven't found anything yet though.

Thank you very much Bernd!😁

Hi @BerndSchwarzenbacher ,

 

The screenshot @JLopes showed is already about the user friendly version, that can be downloaded from here:

https://graphisoft.com/resources-and-support/downloads?section=favorite-converter

I'll update the link, also the FAQ, and the tutorial video can be expected around 17th October.

Hi @Funfun Yan ,

 

Please take a look at the attached manual to see the recommended workflow.

Let us know if it helped.

 

Best regards,

Hi Magdolna, Thank you for your manual, it works! And I found the key is we need to use ac 28 to export AND import. The reason I failed was to use ac 27 open the file and export , then used ac 28 to import.

(ps: There will be many favorites that will not trans correctly which will need to rebuild manually.)

 

Thank you again. Have a good day!😀

It doesn't work for the POR (portuguese) version
