Archicad 17 pln to Archicad 16

[Anonymous]

Hello all, just a quick question I would like to know if it is possible to somehow open my archicad 17 .pln on my archicad 16 computer. I dont have 17 as im on school holidays and my school had 17. I have 16 at home and really need to get started with my work.

Thanks

Yes but you need 17 to open the file first and then 'Save As' a version 16 file.
As a student you can go to the MyArchicad link at the top of this forum and download the student version for 17 (I am assuming you are using the student version of 16).
Then you will have the same version as your school and there won't be any problems (again assuming you are all using the student version).

I have download Archicad 17 but there is only the 64 Bit, my computer only runs a 32 bit. So not sure what I should do right now. Any ideas?

17 only runs on 64bit machines.
There is no 32bit version - 16 was the last compatible with 32bit.

Barry little favour, would you be able to change the settings for me? If i was to send you my .pln file could you change it to be used on archi 16?

[Barry Kelly]

We can try.
I don't have the student version of the software but I think it will be forced to run in student mode when I open your file.
Can you upload to a Dropbox file or similar?
If not I can send you a Private Message with my e-mail address.
