Ok, as an office, we are about to jump from Archicad 26 to 28, and we are also in the process of switching from Intel based MacBooks to Apple Silicon ones, so some big changes coming up for us. Having said that, there are some frustration points I wa...

Ok, I had posted about this last year, but honestly I'm going 100 mph with my hair on fire. I'd have thought someone else would have caught this by now, but it's actually gotten worse on the Silicon Macs. Maybe it's just us?We are still using 26 ( I ...

I have had a very strange error show up on 2 of my projects so far and I have no idea what is going on. My guess is it has something to do with the way we are modeling some more complex project with meshes as sites and complex walls, but a random pol...

So I had a client of our send me over this gem of a screen shot after emailing them a new BIMx model for them to review their design: What???? OK, what exactly is this error message? Is the client trying to do something unusual with the file that is ...

Sorry, I never posted a reply to this or a video to demonstrate the issue. Now it's been over a year and I've upgraded to a new M3 MacBook Pro, only to find the issue has gotten worse and now happens even when you don't mess with the text blocks. I'l...

Sorry I didn't reply earlier- it was indeed the zones as you indicated. I have absolutely no idea why they would show up randomly like that during the BIMx model export command and then go hidden again, it was very strange, but once we messed with th...

Thanks for the link Carl- I will read the article and see if it applies. I am hopeful it was some weird way the client tried to open the file.

Yeah, it's technically not a bug- but I wouldn't classify it as a "feature to be added" either. It's just something that was not thought out in the current dialog box configuration. I mean, yes, I can (and probably will) add it to the "wish" list so ...
