Learning Objectives 

An office template is vital to efficient project start-up and productive workflows. It ensures consistency in the methods of working and standardizes the outputs. With the annual Archicad updates, it is recommended that the office template is reviewed and upgraded in line with any new functionality introduced with each new Archicad version. 

The Archicad 29 Migration Guide outlines the key settings and functions to review when upgrading your office template(s) from Archicad 28 to Archicad 29. It also introduces new features that can be integrated into your templates to support more efficient workflows.

Note: This guide applies only to migration from Archicad 28. For earlier versions, please refer to the corresponding migration guides.

• Key features and tools that affect templates or on-going projects in Archicad 29.
• Step-by-step guidance on what to update to ensure a smooth transition and reliable project performance.
