when is it finish ?
The last plugin for Archicad was released in January 2024. I believe that we will only have the plugin for AC28 from January 2025.
I think it is important that this plugin already incorporates the Live sync system and the export function to d5a file while maintaining the group structure info, to enable the use of the phasing animation tool.
Hello Daniel Paes,
I understand your point, but please consider that every year Archicad gets updated in late September/ beginning of October. (This year Archicad 28 was available 2nd October)
Every year, D5Render doesn’t work for Archicad users for several months.
The options are to pay Archicad renewal and start using it 3/4 months later or, to keep the previous Archicad version installation, save the project to that previous version every time we need to link to D5render, both options simply don’t make any sense.
A yearly D5render subscription for an Archicad user represents paying 12 months, but not being able to use it around 1/4 of the time (from october to January).
Right now, both Lumion and Enscape have updated their add-ons (Lumion was available on 2nd October, if I am not mistaken)
Any developer and even beta tester users will have access to the latest release of Archicad months before it comes out, so, wouldn’t it be a good idea for d5Render to start scheduling the release of its Archicad add-on according to this calendar?
I speak for our office. Every year we decide which render software to use.
We subscribe one solution according to the type and amount of ongoing projects.
That is why we haven’t subscribed D5render for more than one year now:
- It is never available when we update our Archicad, so if we need to produce images at that time we end up investing in another solution.
- if we subscribe for 1 year we will not be able to use it for several (paid) months
In conclusion, yes it would be great if d5Render add-on for Archicad would already allow the phasing function but, not being able to use any function because we end up investing in another solution is way worse.
Please understand, my frustration is because we would like to use d5Render.
Hi all,

D5 Team
Thank you!!!
Hello everyone, ArchiCAD 28 plug-in beta is coming please refer to this link for further details and guidance if you wish to participate. Thank you so much for your patience. Upcoming | D5 LiveSync for Archicad - News - D5 RENDER FORUM
When will plugin be out of beta?
hi,the plugin has already out of beta. If you’re interested, please click here to join our Discord channel, and we will post an announcement when the beta testing starts. Looking forward to your participation!
But it’s not available at the downloads section?
please add the ac 28-plugin to the download-section or at least the beta-version.
Hi there,
We usually don’t add the beta version in the official download section since it is unstable and may need more testing and optimization. If you are interested, you can check out the links that are being provided on this topic. Beta testing | D5 LiveSync for Archicad
Thank you so much.
in my opinion it’s easier to use a buggy beta-plugin then a more complicated workaround. unfortunately the discord-link is already expired.
Please let us know, if there is now an approximate date for the release, or at least a functioning link to the beta version. It is very frustrating not to be able to use D5 (for me now the third new project in the last months) without degrading the Project to Archicad 27, which is not an option at my company. I have to use and pay for another rendering software, now for already three months. I would like to keep using D5 which only makes sense, if we know that it is possible to use throughout the whole year.
Any update on the Archicad 28 support? The discord beta link does not work.
Where??? please give the link
