Installation of new version, and in new laptop

GOBA

What should be done in order to have all the configurations as profiles I installed v24, and I didn’t have my profile. What are the steps we need to do?

And, I’ve bought a new laptop. What folders do I need to copy from the old computer to the new one? Or, is there a process to transfer all the configurations, libraries?

Thanks!

From your old machine you can export your work environment to a folder and then import this into your new installation.

Add-ons are probably best re-installed, but if you know which files they are, you can probably just copy them from the old machine to the same location on the new machine - generally in the Archicad program folder > in a folder called add-ons.

Any additional libraries that you use can be copied from the old machine to the same location on the new machine - only you know where you have saved them.
