Support for BCF 2.1

ARCHICAD offers support for the latest BCF 2.1 format to exchange traditional, so-called “highlight” type issues more precisely.

A significant advantage of the latest format is that elements’ visibility can be managed in BCF, based on the view(s) saved in the issue. Issue details now include several new parameters (Name, Status, Priority, Due Date, Responsible, etc.) and can include multiple viewpoints for more straightforward communication.

With BCF 2.1, the new Description field allows for more detailed explanation, and comments can be added even without reserving the issue in the ARCHICAD Teamwork project.

Besides support for importing and exporting the latest BCF 2.1 format, ARCHICAD also maintains compatibility with former 1.0 and 2.0 versions.
