Hopefully this hotfix will sort out some of my issues exporting to revit structure. Although, on the NZE version of AC, I see that it does not pick up this hotfix when sourced through the check for updates in the AC help menu. Is this hotfix suitable for all users or do I have to wait for the NZE localised version?

[Laszlo Nagy]

Well, the pages says:

Hotfix Previews can be installed with ArchiCAD 15 of any build number and language version.

So I suppose it should work with your version.

I'm guessing Graphisoft just haven't reset something.
My AUS version says it is up to date at build 3898.
Apart from Laszlo there has been no official announcement from Graphisoft other than a post on ArchicadWiki.
Seems they are not following their normal QA procedures.

In the past, I talked to the guy at Graphisoft responsible for IFC development about this. He told me that these IFC hotfixes are not like regular hotfixes. These hotfixes only deal with IFC-related issues.
It can be installed independently of normal hotfixes.

But what is confusing is that the Release Notes lists a number of bug fixes ("List of other bugs fixed in this Hotfix") for ArchiCAD that are beyond the IFC function.

Yes, it is true, it is confusing.
Probably they wanted to include those fixes that were completed even it is not a "regular" hotfix.
I will take this up with them.
