US, UK and International versions of ArchiCAD

[Anonymous]

What are the actual differences between the UK, US and International versions of ArchiCAD? Would a dongle for one version be interchangable with another?

Also, I know what the student edition saves in its own format but can read full format, but the full version cannot read student version files, but there is a third version isn't there? The education version? This can read and save in both file formats..

Also in sotrey settings: Storey 0 (International) = Storey 1 (US)
so a 10 floors building anywhere in the world is 11 floors in north america!

That is to compensate for the fact that they take out the thirteenth floor on higher structures.

WOW: Note to self: Great concept for horror movie:

"The Fourteenth Floor."

Where a hotel, having creepy events on its thirteenth floor, renumbers its upper floors, but the creepy things keep happening.

... and all because of the architect, who planned the building in AC INT instead of US version, and then suddenly died in front of the PC, and his last words were: 'i should have printed the the ghost story...'

So should I set the Ghost storey to the thiteenth floor then?

all stories must be ghosts. like scooby-doo or something...

I remember when ArchiCAD was introducing ghost stories.
I expected the distributor to come around, turn off the lights and stick a torch under his chin...

So you are saying that any dongle can open any ArchiCAD basically? When I was at university I remember that the computers in the CAD labs could open either file version and seemed to save files that I could use at work. I think it was called the -U version? I don't know, I could be imagining the whole thing. I also assumed there was a UK version as I remember there being an update for an early version I was using when I was a student, but it was the same file as the INT version.

The educational license for ArchiCAD has changed with release 10. Check the Educational forum section.
