ARCHICAD 22 delivers design tool improvements and introduces enhanced design workflow processes. These represent significant performance improvements and productivity enhancements to its core design processes as well as to multidisciplinary collaborative workflows.

Facade Design
ARCHICAD's remastered Façade Design workflow enables architects to design, develop and detail hierarchical curtain wall systems with great freedom using modular patterns. The design happens with a natural graphical input in the most natural design environment in 3D or 2D elevations, while ARCHICAD ensures the curtain wall system is structurally correct and adheres to local requirements for documenting and listing.

Faster & smoother 2D navigation
ARCHICAD 22 introduces significant performance improvements, focusing on a smooth and truly responsive 2D panning and zooming navigation experience for projects of any size.

Parametric Custom Profiles
ARCHICAD 22’s Parametric Custom Profiles combines the power of parametric design with the freedom of graphical profile creation.

Expression Based Properties
ARCHICAD 22 allows you to use logical expressions to derive new properties and property values that depend on the element’s own parameters. This new function greatly enriches the information -- or “I” component of BIM. Its automatic workflow lets you define any calculation rule as an element property value and update it automatically, without time-consuming and error-prone manual data entry.

Productivity and Workflow Enhancements
ARCHICAD 22 brings several productivity improvements, providing easier and more intuitive building design, faster and more precise construction documentation, more accurate schedules and cost estimation.

Release Notes:
The Update 5003 contains various enhancements and fixes since the original release of ARCHICAD 22.

255315 CRASH: The process of opening the tool default for a beam that was modelled from a complex profile crashed ARCHICAD.
251538 CRASH: A short segment created by the railing tool crashed ARCHICAD.
254145 CRASH: ARCHICAD crashed during the use of "Edit selected composite" with certain slabs.
252724 CRASH: ARCHICAD crashed when opening a project containing an illegal character in an object.
253592 CRASH: ARCHICAD crashed when publishing a DWG. Autotext handling was at fault.
250874 CRASH: ARCHICAD crashed when selecting "Open source view with reference to layout".
249212 CRASH: ARCHICAD sometimes crashed when favorites were requested in Grasshopper through the ARCHICAD-Grasshopper Connection add-on.
246781 CRASH: ARCHICAD sometimes crashed when hotlinks with parametric profiles were updated.
240853 CRASH: Migration of ARCHICAD 21 files with certain curtain wall frames crashed ARCHICAD 22.
247927 CRASH: Some edges created by GDL objects crashed ARCHICAD in 3D view.
254435 CRASH: The FillIndexList property was not handled correctly for roofs and slabs, which occassionally crashed ARCHICAD when an elevation was opened.
247870 DOCUMENT: Autotext labels referenced properties based on their Globally Unique IDs. This led to empty labels if user created properties were imported into and used in another project.
254500 DOCUMENT: Custom made properties of the Classification and Properties Label 22 were not transferred with the Label Favorite.
253197 DOCUMENT: Schedules used a space as a thousands separator for formatting numbers.
252694 DOCUMENT: The 2D perspective viewpoint changed after rebuilding or reopening.
246031 DOCUMENT: The Pen set changed to all black randomly.
253924, 248678 DOCUMENT: The width of the index column in the Attribute Manager has been increased.
220248 DOCUMENT: Zone listing parameters were not displayed correctly in the Interactive Schedule, if their default sorting was changed.
252388 DOCUMENT/CRASH: ARCHICAD crashed when a view with a corrupt fill was placed on a layout.
250728 DOCUMENT/CRASH: If the default livetype was deleted, opening the Attribute Manager sometimes resulted in a crash.
251246 DOCUMENT/FREEZE: Layouts refreshed slowly, if there were lines that crossed the drawing's border.
254571 EDIT: Image fill created with mirrored method didn't appear mirrored on macOS.
252335 EDIT: The deletion of railing sub-elements in edit mode, sometimes resulted in the deletion of the entire railing.
253667 FILE/BIMx/EXPORT: It was not possible to publish BIMx Hyper-models using an EDU or a Trial license.
250459 FILE/BIMx/EXPORT: It was possible to export GDL elements without an acType or typeID into BIMx Hyper-models.
253898 FILE/DWG/IMPORT: "Import Blocks from DXF/DWG" was not working in ARCHICAD 21 and 22.
247490 FILE/EXCEL/IMPORT: It was not possible to import False as a value for True/False-type Properties with the Import Property Values into Elements function.
253648 FILE/EXCEL/IMPORT: Property data in excel format could not be imported in ARCHICAD 22.
252565 FILE/IFC/SPEED: The speed of the IFC export with Space Containment active has been improved.
251576 FILE/OPEN/CRASH: ARCHICAD 22 crashed in the opening process of a project, created in ARCHICAD 21, including complex profile walls with trapezoid geometry.
252178 FILE/PDF/EXPORT/DOCUMENT: PDFs published from ARCHICAD sometimes had hyperlinks that covered the whole page.
253535 GOODIES: Check duplicates add-on showed railing elements as duplicates.
256462 MODEL: A corner frame of a curtain wall appeared rotated on Layout.
250924 MODEL: Elevation and section markers lost their Iinks.
255123 MODEL: On macOS occassionally section/elevations had to be regenerated to return elements that went missing.
250366 MODEL: On Macs, point clouds were only partially displayed in section/elevation.
194045 MODEL: The Trace reference colour turned grey after its transparency level changed.
255385 TEAMWORK: A large numbers of curtain walls degraded send and receive performance.
250428 TEAMWORK/HOTLINK: The performance of ARCHICAD during the post processing phase has been improved.
250195 TEAMWORK/HOTLINK/CRASH: Symbols used with shells, morphs or roofs in a hotlink occassionally crashed ARCHICAD in Teamwork.
249309 TEAMWORK/MODEL: A PLN/PLA saved from a teamwork project had its railings significantly offset from their originally placed positions.
253942 USER INTERFACE: The function for loading icons onto the user interface has been improved.
