Before switching to Archicad Studio I was able to use the international English version of Archicad here in Brazil. Apparently the new cloud license only allows me to use the Brazilian Portuguese version. For me, this is a major setback. As an old customer (40+ years of experiencie with CAD, 3D and BIM software), I got used to English as my working laguage on the computer, as there were no software translations available in the past. I find it particularly annoying to switch languages when using multiple programs at the same time. Not every software has a Portuguese version. My work consists of converting CAD (AutoCAD) and BIM (Archicad, Revit) models created by my clients to FBX or OBJ for further use in advanced 3D visualization and simulation software. I use the converted geometry in 3ds Max and Unreal Engine to create immersive simulations of the proposed buildings. Graphisoft should urgently reconsider this policy, as other companies such as Adobe, Autodesk, McNeel, Trimble, etc. allow you to use their software in any language, regardless of the country where you work.
