Check for Updates

Check this box if you want automatic notification - when starting ARCHICAD - if a new ARCHICAD or Library update (Hotfix) becomes available. You will be notified with an on-screen Alert if the Check for Update function is run. This function only works if you have a live Internet connection.

Note: Check for Updates will provide automatic information about your ARCHICAD version to the GRAPHISOFT website. These data are limited to the data needed in order to update; they include no personal information.

Use the pop-up to set how often you want to run Check for Updates (Daily, Weekly, or Monthly.)

Click Check Now to check for updates immediately.

Set the components (both ARCHICAD and Library, or either one) for which you wish to Check for Updates.

Note: The Check for Updates does not download anything to your computer automatically. It only provides a notice that such a download is available.

Always compress network traffic

This is checked by default. However, compressing data in a LAN environment might reduce performance. Use this option when using low bandwidth connections. (e.g. Wireless or VPN connection).

Use BIMcloud Delta Cache to optimize bandwidth usage

Enter the address of the BIMcloud Delta Cache of your office. ARCHICAD will download data from a BIMcloud using this BIMcloud Delta Cache.

Address format: http://proxy.address:port

Note: BIMcloud Delta Cache is used only for projects located on a BIMcloud. Not available in BIMcloud Basic.
