When is V9 Due?

[Anonymous]

Being new to Archicad - should we expect a v8.5 before
v9. Based on the past upgrades, when should we expect
a new version?

Who knows cannot say ...

A new version usually arrives just after you bought an upgrade 😉

Anyone in the know is gagged by an NDA. (non disclosure agreement)

However it is fun to rumour, so here goes :-

ArchiCAD 8.0 came out in approx Dec 2002 (Int and US anyway).
They had hoped to have an upgrade cycle of every 18 months.

However that seems to have been thrown out of the window as 8.0 was generally considered to have been release too early.(too buggy)

My vote is that we shall see version 9.0 in December or so. However this is purely speculation, anyone else want to speculate ?

Thanks for at least trying to guess. I know there have been 1/2 versions in the past, but everyone seems to be talking about v9. So ... I guess that cat is out of the bag. Anyway, I hope it will be a great upgrade.

If history is any indication, Revit 7.0 will be out in the beginning of December, around the time of Autodesk University. It would make sense for the AC developers to try and match that.

IF memory serves me, Revit never had 4.5, 4.55, 5.1, 6.5, 8.1 and so on ... ArchiCAD had 8 distinct version in the last 8 or 9 years, and the numbering would double digits long time ago if they did not go for decimals before ...

What do you expect in Revit 7, Scott?

[Scott Davis]

No, there has been 'point' releaes in between the full releases. Revit has had 4.1, 4.5, 5.1, and the most current is 6.1. The last two years, Revit has had a new 'full' release right around December. 5.0 two years ago, and 6.0 last year. Speculation has 7.0 coming out this December.

Not sure what to expect from 7.0, although there are plenty of rumors. There is talk about a full-blown structural package, with analysis, to be in 7.0, but thats pure speculation at this point. Those who known, are tight-lipped due to Non-Disclosure Agreements.

Rumour: Lightwork rendering to be incorporated into Archicad 9? Is it true?
