I measured a house in 2020 and designed an addition to it that was built in 2021. The work was done in Archicad 24. In 2026 the client hired me to do a larger remodel/addition to the rest of the house. It seemed like a perfect opportunity to migrate the project to my Archicad 29 template and replace the old USA Library with the Global Libraries. The video below covers much, but not all of my process. There were too many little steps to remember everything.

I share some additional advice in the accompanying blog post, so make sure to check that out too:

This video was created using the Shoegnome Open Template v29 for Archicad 29 and the Shoegnome Work Environment for Archicad 29. Links below:

As always the template and work environment are free; a good Archicad template (and work environment) is too important to horde. If you want to click the PayPal button on the template or work environment pages to support my endeavors and encourage future development, that's wonderful. Whenever people do that, it makes my day.
