Assuming the proposal I send out later this week is accepted, I’ll have a measure to do sometime between Halloween and the winter solstice. So expect the Shoegnome Open Template v29 for Archicad 29 to be released in that time frame. Since Archicad 29 doesn’t have any huge new features, the next version of the template probably won’t be anything earth shattering. It’ll mostly be clean up, adding backlog items, and hopefully clearing out some of my wishlist items. Later today I’ll start working on all my active projects in Archicad 29 and say goodbye to Archicad 28.
To get the Shoegnome Work Environment for ARCHICAD 29 click on the PayPal button (which will take you to all my Work Environments) or use the download link right below the button. If you aren’t sure how to import a Work Environment into Archicad, this video will show you how.

LIBRARY WARNING!
While the migration from Archicad 28 to 29 is really simple, there is one thing you need to be aware of: Archicad 29 will open Archicad 28 files and keep them linked to the Archicad 28 Global Libraries. That’s not really surprising or bad, but there’s no way to automatically switch to the Archicad 29 Global Libraries within the application. Fortunately there’s a not-so-painful solution. I recorded a video describing it. If you want to skip the video, I’ll save you a few minute: rename /Applications/Graphisoft/Archicad 28/Archicad Library Packages/ to /Applications/Graphisoft/Archicad 28/Archicad Library Packages 28/ (or whatever name you want to change the Archicad 28 Library Packages folder to). Hopefully the video is worth watching because I discuss a few variations on this issue. But your call. As long as a few people watch the video, the YouTube algorithm will be appeased.
