I have just installed AC81-R2-2256-USA. Does that take care of all the previous problems, or is it necessary to ALSO install AC81-R1-1410-USA?

"AC81-R2-2256-USA"
is the latest Build for the Windows version of AC 8.1 (no other Updaters after are needed).

1410 was the old updater (which is updated by AC81-R2-2256-USA).

HI
I installed r2 yesterday, both parts, and had some severe problems with how it generated building elevations. I sent a file to Jeffry at tech support.In addition to some of the exterior walls not showing, every elevation had its own unique feature. One distorted a custom library part making it huge and about 100 feet from the original plan location, but showed it correctly in other elevations, another had not only the miserable south elvation but a fit in window shoed a bonus north/south building section perpendicular to it about 2000 feet above!
Go figure.

I was able to reopen that file successfully after reinstalling 8.1r1+ but do archive before playing.

erika,
pretty strange behavior! i guess i am fortunate.
there are also some pm3 import troubles also. see this thread: http://archicad-talk.graphisoft.com/viewtopic.php?p=11133#11133

The new Mac version of V2/R2 is on the http://tr.graphisoftus.com/ site. I could down load the 1 of 2 (30.7 MB) but 2 of 2 (79.9 MB) links to an unknown location?!
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Joseph Harouni

ok, gs, what is up???

I had the same thing happen then when I went back to the site everything had been pulled, Mac and Windows alike. Appears a little more work is needed on these.

[aahatimo]

duh, i usually save a copy of current ac.exe build before i do the upgrade. guess i better get back in that habit!
the updater posted will not reupdate 2256, guess its total reinstall time.
grant noel did get back up and running w/ a total deinstall/gs cleaner/reinstall/update. i may wait till we hear SOMETHING from gs.

Check the tr site now. Apparently the Mac problem had to do with crashing when trying to post files to an ftp site. A second patch to correct this is available along with the application and library installers.
