My team beta tested AC 11 and throughout the beta test the grid tool was available, albeit just as flawed as it was in 10. Then suddenly the tool was taken away from us when the final release came out. We were urged to used AC 11 on 'real' projects by graphisoft and so we did. We have real clients and we are working on a real $100m hotel and we need our grid tool back, asap.
*We have tried loading the RC1 grid tool but it doesn't get read by the final release.

What happened to the button that allowed you to choose the marker?

Ummm...

(Note to anyone trying this tool for the first time: you must add it to your work environment in several places. Add to the toolbox, then for Tool Settings Dialog Boxes, enable all panels for the grid tool itself, and then in the Section and Elevation tools, enable the Grid Tool panel.)

Did everybody get this email from Graphisoft:
Dear Valued Customer,
...Rest assured, that we are working deligently on the Google Connectivity add-on for all platforms which was announced two months ago on May 2nd, and which we had intended to include with the first release of the English and German versions of AC 11. We will let you know just as soon as it passes QA.

(From GS home page, click link to get to:
which has link to
which links to the download page.)
Perhaps GS can include a link to this and similar pages on the Goodies page to make it a little easier on us?

The tragic irony of the solutions page, where the Mac banners are found, is that half of the solutions don't run on Macs, not to mention the fact that Google Earth for Windows is the only one that has been updated for ArchiCAD 11.

Yes, the 'solutions' page is extremely misleading to Mac users...and wrt some items, such as SketchUp and Maxonform, to all users of 11.

I too was part of the beta test and I too went looking, again, for the grid tool just yesterday, along with the SketchUp import add-on and MaxonForm for AC11. Graphisoft went 0 for 3.
Grid tool is released for English-speaking language versions. Others will follow in the next 2 week.
SketchUp add-on for Windows will be posted this week, for Mac I can not give a date. There is still an unresolved problem with the SketchUp framework that causes instability within the Add-On. This is why we could never release the Add-on for Ac 10, and this is why it is still not available for AC 11. Our developers are in continuous talks with the SketchUp developers, but there is no solution yet. We hear clear and loud your frustration over this issue, but Graphisoft can't solve this isue alone.
MaxonForm connectivity add-on is scheduled for early August. The C4D add-on will follow a few weeks later
