ARCHICAD 23 Update 5003 Preview Released

[Minh Nguyen]

Dear All,

Today we have made available the latest preview version of ARCHICAD 23 Update. We have created and tested packages for the INT, AUS, NZE, UKI and USA language versions.

The Preview Update is only available for the above language versions. If you attempt to install it on a different language version, you will get an error message about this.
We will create Public Update packages for all languages in the upcoming weeks. It will be possible to update from the Preview package to the Public one without a problem.

You can read the Release Notes and download the packages from here.

Should you have any questions or feedback, feel free to let me know!

Best regards,
Minh

Hi Minh:
The link to "New 3D navigation mode for remote desktop Applications"
is a bad link.

Hi Marc,

Thank you for spotting the error! We have fixed the missing link inside the List of Improvements. I guess the article was previously hidden. The link is accessible to the public now!

Once again, thank you for your help! Have a great day!

Best regards,
Minh

ARCH-7876 FILE/IFC/IMPORT: If default beam end angle settings were modified, it affected IFC model elements imported as ARCHICAD beams.

I've been waiting for a solution close to this one.
Has it been done for columns? It will pick up actual column setting for Anchor Point when importing IFC complex profile Columns. That can be tricky. It's not listed nor obvious and can cause a huge mess. (Been through it)

Hotfix 5003 wont let me upgrade, Give a warning
"The language version of Archicad 23 in the selected folder is not supported by this update. Please select another folder"
First time I have seen that.

“Oops” if in doubt read the instructions.

You aren't the only one to make that mistake. Touch of muscle memory and something has subtly changed.

Hi,

Thank you for your question!

Although I don't really understand your wish, this issue is about a defect with ARCHICAD import function. Here is how it could be reproduced on previous AC23 builds:
1. Create a new file with the default template.
2. Set Beam Default setting with END CUTS 120, 120 (not 90, 90).
3. Merge the IFC file.
4. The imported Beams will have wrong end cuts.

Let me know if there is anything I can help!

Best regards,
Minh

Hi Kagiso,

Thank you for your question and I am sorry about the issue!

From your description, it sounds like ARCHICAD cannot find a library to load objects into the project. It's unlikely that the updating process wiped out ARCHICAD's library content. Could you check under File > Libraries and Objects > Library Manager and see if there is any missing library mentioned there after opening the file?

Best regards,
Minh
