It’s finally the day you can stop working and upgrade to OSX 10.11. But first make sure to backup, update ARCHICAD 18 & 19, and say goodbye to ARCHICAD 17.

There is a new ARCHICAD 18 update. Go get it. But first read the release notes and think about whether today is the day to update.

I’ve updated my Template again. Read the post to find out all the details, then download it and some ArchiCAD 18 Libraries .

ArchiCAD Update 5014 is no more; all hail Update 5100. Hopefully with 100% fewer major Teamwork bugs.

Don’t worry, this recall probably doesn’t affect you. But still, read on.

ArchiCAD 18 Update #2 is here and ready for you to use. If ArchiCAD didn’t already ask you to, go download it now!

I’ve made some additional improvements to my ArchiCAD template. I think you’ll like them, even if you just take the ideas and implement them elsewhere.
