About AC15

[Anonymous]

I was watching the youtube videos, and I want to ask you guys that already have AC 15, It is just roofs and the shell tool that is new?
There are something else that I should know?
Thank you in advance.

Definitely more than revised roof tool and shells. Read through all tabs here:

(For information in Portuguese, it is a shame that the Brazilian reseller still only shows ArchiCAD 14 information and that the Portuguese reseller has almost no information.)

I barley use Sketchup but this is so great! One question though, when the SU file is imported back into AR15, is it imported as an object? Can it be edited in anyway?

Also, do you know the release date for AR15 Mac Education version?

Thank you very much.

I don't have exact info about EDU versions. I know various localized versions are rolling out, one after the other, and I am sure the EDU versions will also come out in the coming months, but I have no info on exactly when.
You may ask your local reseller, they may have more info about your country.

About the SU question: They come in as objects but not as editable, parametric objects.

I would like to say that the improved IFC exporter is really improved. Apart from creating smaller files, I finally managed to get the IFC open properly on an Energy Evaluation software.
That was nice.

I just opened a v13 job in AC15. The smoothest transition yet with libraries. Even cadimage D&W builder (of course I had to upgrade first). No warnings or missing parts. Good job GS!
