But let’s be honest: the flashy features are great for marketing, but the real magic lies in the —the small, tucked-away tools and quality-of-life updates that save you hours of clicking. Here is your guide to the best hidden gems (Goodies) in ArchiCAD 27 that you probably missed during the launch hype. 1. The "Find & Select" Overhaul (The Time Thief Catcher) This isn't your father’s Find & Select anymore. The goodie hidden inside ArchiCAD 27’s selection engine is the ability to save complex selection Queries as permanent palettes.

When hovering over a wall to place a column, ArchiCAD 27 now shows a "Ghost" preview of the column's bottom constraint relative to the top of the wall, and vice versa.

ArchiCAD 27 finally added a persistent search filter . Instead of scrolling through 300 fills to find "Brick_Herringbone," just type "Brick." But the secret goodie? You can now delete unused attributes in bulk with a "Smart Cleanup" button that shows you exactly what isn't placed in the project. Your file size will thank you. 5. The "Wall/Beam/Column" Ghost Snap This is so subtle that Graphisoft barely mentioned it, but it changes everything for modeling speed.

After installing ArchiCAD 27, go to Options > Work Environment > Toolbars and enable the legacy "Goodies" palette if you migrated an old workspace—but honestly, the native v27 workflow has absorbed the best of them.
