ArchiCAD 16 Hotfix-1 package (build 3014) was released today. If you’ve been reading the Forum and some of the Facebook groups, you might have learned about a crash that occurs when launching a second instance of ArchiCAD 16. Or you might be one of the unlucky ones to have already been suffering with this issue. Suffer no more. This Hotfix also resolves some other minor zone calculation-related issues. You can
There are a lot of little tweaks in every version of ArchiCAD that don’t get top billing. Or any billing at all. Yet some of these changes are huge and exciting for us nerdy, obsessive users. There is a great list (started by ArchiCAD Hero Link Ellis) from last year on the ArchiCAD forum detailing all these unannounced changes for ArchiCAD 15. I wrote a post about it. Discover both

The event offers a mix of sessions,
While doing some experimentation on an ArchiCAD 15 file that I’d opened in ArchiCAD 16, I came across a weird quark with the Morph Tool. The pet palette for the Morph Tool wasn’t showing me all the options. I was bewildered and annoyed. I wasn’t sure what was going on and I just wanted ArchiCAD to work the way I knew it should. I was pissed. Fortunately I did what
My second year of blogging I’m now at two years of never missing a week. I can’t believe that. This is post 213, which means I’m averaging slightly OVER 2 posts a week. I did not plan on that. I really meant to do only one post a week. I guess since I quit my day job, I’ve just been having too much fun posting and thinking about ArchiCAD. We
The Morph Tool Allows pleasant Surprises There are a lot of great examples of what the Morph Tool in ArchiCAD 16 can do. If you want to see some crazy shapes and amazing forms, the videos in this post will disappoint you.
