Cadimage for ARCHICAD 26: What’s New and Why It Matters

Previous Cadimage objects could bloat a file because they stored redundant 2D symbol data. The '26 release introduces "Symbolic LOD" (Level of Detail). On the floor plan, your window looks like a standard 2D symbol. In 3D, it loads the full extrusion. In Section, it loads the lintel and sill details. This means you can have a 200-unit apartment complex with Cadimage doors, windows, and stairs without your file crashing every time you hit "Refresh."
