ArchiCAD 21 Build 5024 (Update)
New Features:
- PDF Reviewer Tool connection (e.g. Adobe Acrobat, Bluebeam etc.)
- With this solution, we provide a complete, bi-directional workflow between ARCHICAD and any standard PDF reviewer tool, such as Adobe Acrobat or Bluebeam. The solution improves communication and collaboration among architects, engineers and other project stakeholders during PDF-based project management. Bi-directional means that all the markups created in the PDF editor can be imported back to ARCHICAD, where they are transformed into Markup entries which appear in the correct location, helping the user to understand and solve the issue.
- Bluebeam Reviewer Tool connection (add-on product, part of US only)
- This is an additional palette for the general PDF Reviewer Tool connection which contains the most important commands for bi-directional workflow between ARCHICAD and Bluebeam only.

ArchiCAD 21 Build 5002 (Update)

NEW FEATURES:

PDF Reviewer Tool connection (e.g. Adobe Acrobat, Bluebeam etc.):
- With this solution, we provide a complete, bi-directional workflow between ARCHICAD and any standard PDF reviewer tool, such as Adobe Acrobat or Bluebeam. The solution improves communication and collaboration among architects, engineers and other project stakeholders during PDF-based project management. Bi-directional means that all the markups created in the PDF editor can be imported back to ARCHICAD, where they are transformed into Markup entries which appear in the correct location, helping the user to understand and solve the issue.

Link Rhino (.3dm):
- We have further improved collaboration between ARCHICAD and Rhinoceros – a popular free-form modelling tool – by adding new import options. The user can link Rhino source files (.3dm) into ARCHICAD, and update, relink etc. in the usual way, similarly to the Link IFC feature introduced in ARCHICAD 21.
- Also, Rhino files can be imported into ARCHICAD as an Object, so the new command directly imports Rhino models into ARCHICAD’s Embedded Library as a GDL Object. This command replaces the "Rhino-GDL Converter" add-on, released for ARCHICAD 18, 19 and 20.

Bluebeam Reviewer Tool connection (add-on product, part of US only):
- This is an additional palette for the general PDF Reviewer Tool connection which contains the most important commands for bi-directional workflow between ARCHICAD and Bluebeam only.

- FILE/IFC/IMPORT: Importing an IFC file could result in an empty ARCHICAD project in certain cases, even though the IFC file could be displayed in other IFC viewer applications.
- FILE/IFC/OPEN: It was not possible to open/merge a certain IFC file.
- FILE/MODEL/CRASH: Temporary files created from Point Clouds highly decreased the free space of the hard drive, which led ARCHICAD to crash.
- FILE/OPEN: Missing Cadimage Add-on data could not be deleted from a project by unticking the "Keep Data" checkbox upon opening the ARHICAD file.
