I know you are excited about Mac OS X Yosemite. But slow down. You have a job to do, and need to be careful about any quirks that will eventually be ironed out in future hotfixs to ArchiCAD and updates to the OS.

Need every Library shipped with any version of ArchiCAD since 1995? Here’s how to get all the old ArchiCAD Libraries.

If you don’t have ArchiCAD 10, remember to install the file converters so you
December must have been the month of old files. I’ve had a few people ask me about opening up ancient projects. If you want to open a file from before v8.1 and only have v14 installed (I’m pretty sure even v11 can’t open anything older), there is a solution. You can download a free file converter that is an updated pre-installed older version of ArchiCAD. With the file converters you
