Hi,
Currently there are “official” and “advanced” versions both available in 2.79 and 2.8.
- Archipack 2.x “advanced” for blender 2.8 will be a paid addon, as sadly i can’t rely on donations / community contributions. As supporter you’ll get 2.0 when released and updates for free.
- Archipack 1.3.8+ “advanced” for blender 2.79 free for anyone is available from github.
- Archipack 1.2.8x “official” free version ship with blender 2.79 / 2.8
What’s new ?
While focusing on ease of use and speed, work between 1.3.8 and 2.x include adding support for 2.8 features and refactory of ground classes shared by most objects.
Major parts are already working but there is still a lot to do and i must wait for blocking issues in blender itself to be fixed before any 2.x release.
Major enhancements in 2.x vs 1.3.8+:
- Support for blender 2.8 and eevee
- Ability to save materials into library right from your project file
- Comprehensive material indexes assignment using a drop-down list with material names
- Enhanced manipulators enabled automatically on object selection change
- Wall sides auto-snap (provide perfect geometry when not crossing at 90°)
- Wall draw tool allow modifications through manipulators while drawing.
- Better and fastest synchronization of objects while editing walls (floors, slabs, moldings, fences, doors, windows and other walls following changes done)
- Project structure using collections.
- json based presets files so users are able to share without any security issues
- Enhanced presets and tools to ease export of models for game engines
