Activate preview version

The preview version offers access to the new roles of buildagil. These roles are in the final test phase before the general release. By activating the preview version, these roles can already be used.

As the preview version is a development status, it is possible that buildagil will not behave as expected or that roles will change before the general release. The preview version can be deactivated at any time.

To activate the preview version, click on the "Profile picture" and then on "Preview version".

Roles in the preview version

Recently published roles can be found here: News September 2025

Start & navigation:

Optimization of window navigation

Project settings:

File naming conventions

BIM:

Model editing with Archicad

Tasks & topics:

Optimization of the layout

The window navigation has been optimized so that the windows can be opened in a compact display by clicking on the minimized navigation. This means that the display takes up less space on mobile devices, among other things, while still offering the same functionality.

You can find further information on window navigation in the following article: Window navigation.

File naming conventions

With file naming conventions, files in the project can be named in a uniform and comprehensible way. They create a clear structure and enable the automatic review of file names. Compliance with the specifications is checked automatically. Deviations are detected and flagged by the system. This reduces manual corrections and creates a reliable basis for further processing.

The file naming conventions can be defined by a project administrator in the Project settings.

Conventions can be defined project-wide for specific folders or file types. Configuration is carried out flexibly using modules such as free text, selection lists and fixed or variable number and text elements. Even complex requirements can be mapped using regular expressions. Further information on setting up file naming conventions can be found in the following article: Configuring file naming conventions.

After entering or adapting a convention or file name, the system automatically recognizes all affected files. Depending on the case, these are marked as "obsolete" or "invalid". This gives project administrators a clear overview and allows them to filter specifically for these files. Further information on the behavior of file naming conventions in the documents can be found in the following article: Use of file naming conventions.

The statuses are currently only visible to project administrators. Users can upload files without restrictions.

BIM | Model editing with Archicad

The Archicad app is currently still being introduced on buildagil. As this is a development stage, there may still be changes until the general release.

With the Archicad app, project content such as Model tasks, documents and other elements from buildagil can be displayed and edited in Archicad. The model sections from the tasks can also be opened directly in Archicad. This eliminates the need to manually search for the correct view and allows changes to be made to the model efficiently.

Models saved in buildagil can be opened directly from the document area in the Archicad app. Via the App, personal homes, tasks, projects & favorites are also available. The OneDrive synchronization can be used to save changed IFC and PDF files directly back into buildagil.

You can find more information on model editing with Archicad in the following article: Model editing with Archicad.

Tasks & topics | Optimizing the layout

The layout for creating new topics, decisions and information has been optimized. This lays the foundation for further optimization of these elements.

The layout for new tasks will be revised in a subsequent update.

Further information on tasks & topics can be found in the following article: Overview of tasks & topics.
