Migrating Markers (assigning Renovation Status)

Migrate from Archicad 28 and earlier

As of Archicad 29, Section/Elevation/Interior Elevation, Detail and Worksheet markers also have a Renovation Status.

When you open an older-version file, the project’s markers will automatically get a Renovation status that helps ensure that your drawings look the same as they did before.

• If all the elements in your migrated project use the same Renovation status (typically “New” or “Existing”): All the markers will get that Renovation status, too.
• If your elements use various Renovation statuses, Archicad will check which status is set to “Show” in all Renovation filters (typically “Existing”): All markers will get that Reno status, so all markers are still visible on all views.
• If your project elements use various Renovation statuses, and the project views use Reno filters with some elements set to “Hide”:
• Duplicate linked markers will be created at the same location as the first marker (each with a different Reno status) - this ensures that a marker can still be visible on all views.
• For example, a source marker will get “Existing” status. One or more duplicate, linked markers will be created at the same location, with “New” and “To be Demolished” statuses.
  Note: Regardless of the Reno status of your markers, a new option in Renovation Filter Options lets you exclude markers from getting an override. See Additional Renovation Filter Options for Annotation elements.
