If you aren’t sure how to import a Work Environment into Archicad, don’t worry, I did a blog post and video on that. I’m measuring a house later this week and am going to do that in Archicad 24 because I don’t need to learn anything new while I’m building an Archicad model at a client’s dining room table between measurements.

With that done, I can migrate all my current projects to Archicad 25 next week. The first step to switching to a new version of Archicad is always setting up a proper Work Environment. Other than some light beta testing, I haven’t used Archicad 25. Which is to say, if you are using my Work Environment, don’t bring forward an old version to Archicad 25. The important thing is that I rebuilt my Work Environment in Archicad 25 so that little changes to menus or other hard to notice OOTB alterations don’t fall through the cracks.

I also tweaked a few minor items that aren’t worth mentioning or tracking. I updated my shortcuts to align with those inconsequential changes. Archicad 25 out of the box has four new keyboard shortcuts, one changed keyboard shortcut, and two removed. What’s changed in my Archicad 25 Work Environment?īasically nothing since my Archicad 24 Work Environment.
