Installation Archicad App

The Archicad app can be installed device by device.

Windows:

Download buildagil Archicad 27 App for Windows

Download buildagil Archicad 28 App for Windows

When downloading, a ZIP file is downloaded, which must be unpacked. For Windows, the ZIP contains an ".apx" file. It is recommended to save this file in the Archicad add-ons folder. Example path:

C:\Program Files\Graphisoft\Archicad 28\Add-Ons

Mac:

Download buildagil Archicad 28 App for Mac

When downloading, a ZIP file is downloaded, which must be unpacked. For Mac, the ZIP contains a ".bundle" file. It is recommended to save this file in the Archicad add-ons folder. Example path:

/Applications/Graphisoft/Archicad 28/Add-Ons

The Add-On Manager can then be opened in Archicad via the "Extras" menu.

The option "Use designated add-on directory" must be activated here so that the file is loaded correctly from the folder.

The changes must then be saved and Archicad restarted.

After successful installation, the app appears in the list of available add-ons in the add-on manager. In addition, the new tab "buildagil" is displayed in Archicad, which can be used to open the Archicad app and access buildagil Registered.

As the role is still being introduced, the Preview version activated must be used in the app.
