Dual-Tolerance Dimensioning

For those working in imperial and metric simultaneously (or renovation projects), the new Dual Dimension tool allows you to set a primary and secondary unit directly on the same dimension string. You can now show 10'-0" (3048mm) without creating a second dimension string. GPU Renderer for 3D Views: The 3D window

Batch operations and multi-selection workflows are more responsive, facilitating bulk edits and global model updates. This responsiveness matters most on large projects, where even modest slowdowns can cascade into significant time losses across the design team. delivering a release focused on productivity

6. Performance Goodies (The "Under the Hood" List)

• GPU Renderer for 3D Views: The 3D window now uses the GPU (Vulkan / Metal 3) for navigation, making 500 MB point clouds or high-poly GDL objects smooth even on a laptop.
• Faster Element Selection: Selection of 10,000+ walls is now instantaneous due to a new spatial hash indexing system.
• Startup Time: Archicad 29 launches in under 8 seconds on an NVMe drive (tested on M3 Max and Ryzen 9).
