ArchiCAD 17 Hotfix-5 package (build 5014) was released today. You can read about all the details and download the hotfix (if your ArchiCAD isn’t set to automatically notify you) here. A quick synopsis of what this Hotfix fixes:

“This Hotfix fixes a large number of ArchiCAD 17 bugs. Many frequent crashes, Energy Evaluation miscalculations, BIMx bugs, editing problems have been solved.  For those who already have Hotfix 4 (build 5005) installed, we recommend this hotfix for solving the regression problems introduced with Hotfix 4. For details see the List of fixed bugs.

The hotfix applies to ArchiCAD, BIM Server and all other components: BIM Server Manager, BIMx, MEP Modeler and all GRAPHISOFT-distributed Add-Ons and Goodies. It applies to all (Commercial, Educational and Trial) license types.”

Remember to update everyone using Teamwork 2 (including the BIM Server) at the same time. And in case you somehow missed it, EcoDesigner Star was announced today. My hunch is that this Hotfix will also be required for anyone using EcoDesigner Star. But that’s just a guess. Why else would both be released together??????
