Archicad 28 Library Update 1 Release Notes

1. New 2D Tree Graphics

The user interface for choosing a tree has been changed to better support the design process.
• Before the update: Users began their search in Object Settings by defining the tree species.
• After the update: Users begin by choosing their preferred view (e.g. 2D, silhouette, side view).

Before After

The existing set of 6 tree objects was expanded to include more than 300 new, AI-generated 2D tree graphics to
provide more variety for illustrating vegetation.

Archicad 28 Library Update 1 Release Notes
After selecting the preferred tree view, use the Tree Type tab page to choose a tree graphic.

All silhouette and symbolic trees (both existing and new tree objects) have two new functions in the 2D Representation
tab page:

• Tree Contour Line can be turned ON/OFF with a checkbox


• Tree Gradient Fill can be set either numerically, or by using vectors on the plan.

2. New Special Doors

2.1. Standalone Elevator Doors – for use with the Elevator Object

AC28 Library Update 1 contains 4 new elevator doors that you can use with the existing Elevator
object.
Choose among 1-winged or 2-winged doors, with variations for inside or outside the wall.

To use the new elevator doors, turn off the elevator shaft in the elevator object and design a custom shaft instead. Then
place the elevator door into the shaft.

With the new elevator door objects, you can:


• Use the Interactive Schedule to list as many elevator doors as you have placed
• Place different elevator doors on different floors
• Design the shaft with more flexibility —for example, using multiple elevators in the same shaft

Also, you can set the number of leaves:


• 1-winged doors: 2 or 3 leaves
• 2-winged doors: 2x1, 2x2 or 2x3 leaves

• Set the number of rails (from 1 to 4) on which to hang the leaves.

You can also define up to 3 custom leaf schemes. For example, if you have 9 leaves, you can define 3 different schemes
for leaf attributes: which rail to hang it from, which direction should it open, where to place the handle, etc.

6
Archicad 28 Library Update 1 Release Notes
On the Opening Type and Length tab page, define whether a given leaf should be fixed on a given rail, or should slide to
one side or another, or both ways.

• You can mirror the leaves, which is handy if you have chosen an asymmetric panel
• You can set the position of leaves on the rails
• Opening lengths can be different in 2D and in 3D

2.3. Single and Double Lining Doors

AC28 Library Update 1 contains 2 new lining doors, where the frame can surround the door.
