Hi!

How do you open multiple windows in ArchiCAD on Mac?

Thanks for the help

I think there were some discussions about this in the past.
I am not on Mac, but I think you will have to duplicate the whole ArchiCAD application folder so you will have another AC application and you need to start that.

Eva:

If you mean that you want to open another .pln file while keeping the current one open, then when you use the "Open..." command, check the "Launch a new instance of ArchiCAD" in the lower left corner of the dialog box. If you mean something else, then post more information about your issue.

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.

Once you have the second instance open (following David's procedure above) you can right click on the 2nd Archicad icon and "Keep in Dock" for easy access next time.
