Check Duplicates add-on for ArchiCAD15 doesn't check correct

Anonymous

Hi everybody,

1st of all I would like to say to GS, that ArchiCAD15 for team work is a very great tool in hand of architectural team, but has a lot of bugs.

"Check duplicate" add-on is selecting walls that are identical on plan but not in 3d, because of elevation, that's not correct in general!

If you read the disclaimers these add ons are not released as complete, so in fairness it is not right to complain.

Ok,
Goodies are Add-Ons to ArchiCAD that are based on legacy code which Graphisoft does not support anymore. You can use it ‘as is’, but be warned that they might not function properly, and they will not be fixed or upgraded.

...ArchiCAD Hotfix installer will update the goodie tool. You do NOT have to download the goodie again after installing an ArchiCAD Hotfix.

It's not funny!

Check duplicate is very important & helpfully tool when you are working in teamwork on large projects. So I think this add-on must be integrated into AC.

Can anyone get the Check Duplicates Add-on for ArchiCAD 15 to load?

Someone else will have to check on the PC version. Does the add-on show in the Add-On Manager? Are the commands Select... (Check Duplicates) and Delete... (Check Duplicates) part of your Work Environment?

I just loaded the add on for deleting duplicates. The menus are not in English. How do I get the correct ones? They show up in English until loaded then they are not when I use them.

AC18 - Check Duplicates no longer a default add-on (not in add-on manager). Looked online - no country options available from 'select your contry' dialogues - pages broken. Anybody using Check Dupes successfully in AC18 - just trying to clean up some exploded PDF mess...

If there is a new command to do the same thing - please enlighten me
