Create New Solo Project
Note: If you press Alt (Opt) key when choosing the New command, its name changes to New and Reset All, and ARCHICAD will automatically use the default project settings.
At the top of the list is the default template shipped together with the current version of ARCHICAD. (It is saved to the Defaults folder when you install ARCHICAD.) Defaults folder locations:
On PC: C:Program FilesGraphisoftARCHICAD 20DefaultsARCHICAD
On Mac: ApplicationsGraphisoftARCHICAD 20DefaultsARCHICAD
Note: A template is a read-only project file, which contains all preferences settings, placed construction and drawing elements and tool default settings of the project. (When starting a new project based on a template, you are in fact opening a copy of this template file as “Untitled”).
The next section contains any additional template files saved to the “Templates” folder, located here:
On PC: Documents and SettingsuserGraphisoftARCHICAD Templates.
On Mac: LibraryApplication SupportGraphisoftARCHICAD Templates.
In the next section of the pop-up list, you will find up to three of the last template files chosen.
Or select Browse Template to choose a template file from any other location.
Note: This can be the perfect solution for you, if you always work with the same standard definitions. However, if you last opened and worked on a project that was created by another person, you may find that your preferred settings are off. If you do not wish to return to the program’s default settings, open a project that you are familiar with, then close it and start the new project again: this time, Latest Project Settings will mean the settings you are familiar with.
Use File > New to create a new project. From the New Project dialog box, check the “Launch a new instance” box if you want to open an additional ARCHICAD in addition to the currently running program, if any.
