When hovering over a wall to place a column, ArchiCAD 27 now shows a "Ghost" preview of the column's bottom constraint relative to the top of the wall, and vice versa.

Every year, Graphisoft rolls out a headline feature for ArchiCAD. Version 27 was no different, with the spotlight firmly on the Virtual Building Experience (improved 3D navigation and graphical overrides). When hovering over a wall to place a
You can now offset slanted columns and beams by absolute or relative vectors from the reference axis. No more doing trigonometry to figure out where the top of a slanted column sits relative to a rotated beam. It just works, and it works perfectly with the improved structural analysis workflow. 3. Graphic Override "Dropper" Tool Graphic Overrides got more powerful, but the goodie is the new interaction model: the Paint Bucket and Dropper analogy. Every year, Graphisoft rolls out a headline feature
Have a wall that needs to look like a "Demo" element? Use the dropper on an existing demo element to copy its graphic override rules, then "paint" it onto the new wall. This visual, click-based workflow is revolutionary for existing users who hate digging through nested dialog boxes. 4. The "Attribute Manager" Filter Bar If you have used ArchiCAD for more than a year, your Attribute Manager (Fill patterns, Surfaces, Line types, Composites) is probably a mess.
