The USA library is developed by Graphisoft North America specifically for the US market. The simple answer is yes, you’ll have to reverse the issue now that you’re switching back to the USA library. Want more ArchiCAD tips, tricks, help, advice, tutorials, etc? Follow Shoegnome on Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube for more… You are familiar with the Shoegnome Open Template, right? Check out the Shoegnome Open Template FAQ for download links. Need the INT or USA Library for the current version of ArchiCAD (ArchiCAD 18 as of this update)? I can help you out.

If I ever learn of a new way to access old versions of ARCHICAD, I’ll update this post again.

If you ever downloaded an old version of ARCHICAD via you can still access those downloads, but the links to other versions are no longer as easily accessible as they once were.īecause of that change I’ve deleted the instructions on this post that explained how to access those files. There used to be a trick to download old versions of ARCHICAD via. I’ll of course update this post if/when I get new information. The Shoegnome Open Template FAQ has a download link for USA and INT libraries as far back as Archicad 18. If you need the USA or INT Library from Archicad 18 or newer, I can help you. As of right now, if you need ancient Archicad libraries, you are out of luck. There’s no reason that GRAPHISOFT needed to take those down. If you find them, let me know and I’ll add them to the list above. I presume there are similar links for the other language versions of ArchiCAD. Sometimes it’s just a treasure hunt to find them. This just reminds me that Graphisoft has a ton of useful information out there for us.

It was a pain because I could open the file with 8.1, but I didn’t have the old libraries on either my machine or the server. I wish I knew about these library downloads 6 months ago when I was trying to look at an old 6.5 file. I believe all versions starting with ArchiCAD 11 come with migration libraries for ArchiCAD 10 and above.

ArchiCAD 10 to ArchiCAD 14 libraries are included in ArchiCAD 15 as Migration Libraries, so you don’t need to download them in their entirety. We all now know about the free file converters that allow us to open old ArchiCAD files, but what about digging up old libraries…ĭid you know you can download ALL the old ArchiCAD libraries? Well all the libraries from 4.55 to 9.0.
