When I place a normal label with a note (wrapped text) and later go back to edit the note it nearly always changes the box to one long line. We have a specific office standard width for notes and it would be nice if they stayed the same width that they were resized to the first time.

No image - because of course it won't happen when I want it to!

However; that does NOT mean I'd want a change to a locked width that is changed by going into settings as often I'm in different scale drawings and it would be annoying to have to reset it every time. It's much quicker to do it graphically with a hot spot.

Wouldn't it be great if @GRAPHISOFT would not continue to split up things per language? At least when it comes to wishlists.

I think it would make sense if the wishes would be gathered in a central place, where they could then be filtered by language if necessary, or they could even show a translated version to a desired language...

When entering edit mode in a curtain wall, every change of the curtain wall scheme in a 2D view requires a rebuid, before the ability of moving scheme lines is active again - even with all geometry turned off.

Step 1 - move a scheme grid line

Step 2 - try to move another scheme grid line without rebuilding your model...

At least for this situation - when all geometry is turned off - this requirement of rebuilding should not exist. It costs a lot of time and is also very annoying.

The Grasshopper connection is currently limiting in the sense that information can be read from Archicad, but only Geometry sent/created through the link can be adjusted.

It would be amazing if such a basic thing as having full parametric control over a model or parts of it would be possible. Sometimes it's really just about updating some parameters or properties in Archicad, not necessarily about the geometry.

Re: Use Object from library returns Null - Graphisoft Community

I find myself wondering many times why there is no possibility to zoom into the object preview window, curtain wall schedule preview or handrail preview tool. It feels like another gimmick that lost track after its inception. Maybe pimping it up just a tad would turn it into something useful... 

Wouldn't it be great if you could actually preview what you are doing in that preview window?

Hi,

I want to spent as little time as possible placing views on layouts and preferably no time at all on resizing drawing frames on layouts. So I'm a big fan of the Place Drawing function in de Organizer. And when placing one view on one layout (details, single floorplans), or placing multiple views which are adjustable (and therefore predictable) in width and height (sections and elevations through their markers) all is well.

But when placing multiple views which are a zoom in/portion of a larger model (ie. floorplan of one row of many rows in a development) on a single layout there is room for improvement.

The grid function of Master Layout is helpful, because Place Drawing centers all the views on in gridcells, but when the zoom and thus the frame of a view is larger than a grid cell, the drawing extents past the grid cell. It would be great if the grid cell acts as Illustrator clipping masks or as InDesign image frames from InDesign. The optional grid cell lines already detect when a drawing extents over the line (because then it will be hidden) so hopefully this is not a difficult feature to add.

And adding to that, it would be great to be able to graphically adjust the grid cells on each Master Layout. Now it is not possible to make a 3x3 grid, because AC combines 4 cells in one larger cell.

And it would also be fantastic to be able to place one view on multiple layouts at once by selection one view and multiple layouts in the Navigator and use Place Drawing.

I am aware of, and using, Save current zoom option in the View Settings and the Crop Drawing to Frame setting in the Drawing Settings. The problem with this function is that this Frame is determined by the active window size (which is adjustable by adding toolbars or change the size of the Navigator). So controlling this window size and corresponding zoom would also be an option, like setting 3D window size is also an option.

Reverse engineering the proportions of the active window is possible by using the drawing on a layout as a reference. But this is a labor intensive workaround and my active window size changes quite a bit from time to time, depending on having functions like the design option toolbar visible or not. 

Thanks.

The Problem: (see screen recording attached which includes two "Enters") You open up a tool and search for something. You close the tool. Then you select something that tool makes (like the object tool makes objects). You use your keyboard to tab through some settings, maybe from a drop down, then hit enter to select. That setting is selected. You hit enter again to select "OK" and close the window BUT instead of OK and closing the window, you've suddenly switched from the object you were editing to whatever you were searching the library for before. You proceed to pull your hair out.

The Solution: Even when the search is active (with a cursor), a second Enter closes the window instead of selecting a library part in the sidebar. You leave your hair in.

Has anyone else encountered this problem?

I wish I can mirror dimension text, when I remove Always Readable option in Dimension Text Settings so I don't need to rotate single text dimension.

We use it in formwork plans.

Instead of turning on/off shadows in the elevation settings, it would be much more practical to control those in either view settings or model view settings.

As for now, I need to have 2 sets of elevations, one with and one without shadows, or I have to accept that shadows either show or don´t show for one elevation throughout the whole project.

Crazy enough this is not possible yet?!

Would be great to be able to toggle between % and ° when needed in the tracker (2D and 3D geometry)

Problem: the two current options for profiled curtain wall frames create unnecessary workarounds/steps. "Profiled Frame" is great, but it requires a Frame and a Cap (not all frames have a cap). "Profiled Butt-Glazed Frame" is obviously good for true butt-glazing conditions, but it is also the workaround when a frame with a single profile is desired (no cap), however the limitation presents itself when a Simplified 3D Detail Level is used:

It appears that the "Profiled Butt-Glazed Frame" only considers geometry on the interior side of the glazing when a simplified detail level is active. Good in theory, until this frame type is needed as a workaround. So now what I'll have to do is split my custom profile in two, using one half of it as the "cap", even though in reality it's a single extrusion.

Scenario / Use Case: basic storefront systems (at least in the US) have both 1- and 2-piece frames (not butt-glazed), such as the head and jamb as seen below in the manufacturer details:

As it stands, we can't create a single profile to accomplish these conditions, without the simplified view looking incorrect (we use both levels of 3D Detail, depending on the view scale).

Wish: that a third type of profiled-frame be added to the curtain wall tool, which would allow 1-piece frames that appear correct in both "Detailed" and "Simplified" 3D Detail levels.

When placing a Keynote label on a selected element, the label is currently inserted at the center of the element by default. I would like to have the option to define a preferred default position, such as the top-left corner of the element (e.g. based on its bounding box), instead of manually repositioning the label each time.

This would improve efficiency and ensure more consistent annotation across drawings.

For clarification, a short video illustrating this behavior is attached.

Great gas cylinder object, have used for years, but it really needs a Label.
I've always had to manually add a label/note next to it, which is frustrating, especially if moving the object around.

Many of your other objects have labels built in (eg. Gully Trap #1613), which work great, so should be pretty easy for you to add that feature/setting to this object?

Currently the beam tool is lacking basic functionality which would improve its usefulness:

• be able to set the slant angle also in %
  

   

• be able to adjust the angle of the beam end also along the y-axis 
  

   

• allow to add an end plate similar as the staircase stringers end plate settings - currently for the beams this can be achieved by adding segments to the beam

As the project files in Archicad can get quite big pretty quickly (100-1000MB) and not all Projects require a Teamwork file, it would be very useful if the saving process could be done in the background (as for example Photoshop does it, or as the Teamwork Snapshots work as well) so that we could continue working and not have to wait these precious seconds It's even more useful in home office scenarios, where the office VPNs can have a bandwidth limit imposed, or if the internal office server is old/slow.

BIMcloud SaaS tenants are assigned to a Google Cloud Platform region based on country of purchase, with no option to select or request a different region. Graphisoft's own documentation acknowledges that latency directly impacts Teamwork performance, particularly Send & Receive operations, and directs users to verify their latency using GCPing.com before committing to SaaS. Reference:

https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Teamwork-BIMcloud/BIMcloud-Software-as-a-Service-Connection-Test...

We followed that recommendation. The results, measured from Costa Rica using GCPing.com, show the following:

São Paulo (southamerica-east1), which is the assigned region for Costa Rica: 180ms South Carolina (us-east1), the best performing region from our location: 85ms North Virginia (us-east4): 93ms Dallas (us-south1): 108ms

São Paulo is not only the worst performing region in the Americas from Costa Rica, it ranks on par with European cities including London, Madrid, Paris, and Belgium. It performs worse than every US region by a significant margin, and it is geographically further from Costa Rica than multiple US options.

Graphisoft's own network requirements documentation states that slow round-trips significantly affect operations requiring multiple packet exchanges between client and server, specifically naming Send & Receive. At 180ms base latency, every Teamwork operation accumulates this penalty across multiple round-trips, making daily Teamwork use genuinely impractical.

Notably, Graphisoft does not publish a maximum acceptable latency threshold anywhere in the connection test documentation. Users are directed to check their latency without being given a pass or fail benchmark. This means firms in affected regions can unknowingly purchase Collaborate subscriptions, complete the recommended connection test, and still have no basis to evaluate whether their assigned region is acceptable.

The request has two parts.

First, publish a clear maximum acceptable latency threshold in the connection test documentation so that firms can make an informed purchasing decision before committing to a subscription.

Second, allow tenant region selection at purchase, or at minimum allow firms to request reassignment to the lowest-latency available region. Locking tenant assignment to country of purchase without any recourse is not acceptable when the assigned region demonstrably fails to support the product's core workflow.

This affects all of Central America and likely other Latin American countries facing similar routing. It is a verifiable, measurable infrastructure gap that makes a paid feature non-functional for an entire region, and it directly contradicts the product promise of seamless cloud collaboration regardless of location.

File browser dialogues should use the windows default dialogue, allowing searching, copying and pasting of file paths, access to pinned folder etc. having to navigate our vast project library each time is annoying and time consuming. 

 Current arrangement:

Proposed:

Archicad currently does not support saving and working on solo .PLN files directly within cloud-synced folders such as Dropbox, Google Drive, or OneDrive. The save operation generates temporary and lock files that conflict with real-time sync clients, creating a race condition that can result in save failures and, in rare cases, file corruption.

This is not a niche edge case. The majority of small and mid-size architecture firms in 2026 use cloud storage as their primary file management infrastructure. Telling users to avoid cloud-synced folders and instead work locally then manually copy files is not a realistic workflow. It introduces human error, breaks version continuity, and contradicts how every other professional desktop application in the industry operates. Adobe, AutoCAD, Vectorworks, Microsoft Office all handle cloud-synced folders without issue.

The request is straightforward: implement a save mechanism for solo .PLN files that coordinates with cloud sync clients, either by pausing sync during the save sequence, using atomic write operations, or adopting a save architecture compatible with how modern cloud storage hooks into the OS. The technical pattern is well established across the industry.

This is not a nice-to-have. For firms that rely on Dropbox or Google Drive as their file backbone, which is most small firms, this is a fundamental reliability gap that creates real data risk daily.

With different publishers sets I would like to be able to also set per set the preview, not just 1 for the whole project because since I make variations those should vary.  it would be nice if those variations can be visually recognized in the Bimx list when presented as different files.
