Can I get a trial version of mACT?

Unfortunately there is no trial version of mACT available, as we can not effectively protect the contained intellectual property once it is on your computer. Please refer to the extensive information available on this website, and if you still have any questions we are more than happy to answer any specific questions you might still have.

How is mACT licensed?

mACT is licensed per purchaser – please also refer to our EULA here.

Is mACT a stand-alone or subscription license?

mACT is not subscription-based. You purchase a once-off licence to use the mACT framework. Each major version (eg mACT 18 to mACT 19) requires a new, corresponding licence purchase.

What is included with mACT?

mACT includes everything shown in the feature list above as well as a detailed Getting Started Guide, outlining the underlying principles and how to best use mACT.

What else do I need to adjust to start working with mACT?

Nothing. mACT works out of the box. However you can use it also as a basis and customise mACT to your office style, i.e. add your custom title block, adapt favourites to use your office font. We can also do this for you. Please contact us here for a quote.

Does mACT only work on macOS?

mACT works as well on Windows based PCs as it does on Apple macOS.

What kind of support do I get?

mACT is sold as is. However we listen and encourage feedback from our clients and release updates to mACT regularly.

By the way, we are also an Apple-focused IT support provider based in Sydney, Australia enabling us to make all your systems work for you – please contact us if you are interested.

What if I need support in adjusting mACT to my specific needs?

We can assist you customising mACT at hourly rates – for a proposal please contact us directly via email and include some details what you need done.

mACT is based on the metric system. How do I change it to imperial?

Please follow these steps to do so:

1. StartARCHICAD.
2. Start a new file. (Opening the template directly will just result in a New Untitled file!)
3. File > Open > and browse to your copy of mACT (mACT 18.tpl) and open it.
4. Change working units under:ARCHICAD > Project Preferences > Working Units
5. Change dimensioning preferences under:ARCHICAD > Project Preferences > Dimensions … (There are presets provided by Graphisoft.)
6. Change calculation units under: ARCHICAD > Project Preferences > Calculation Units & Rules
7. Once all is set go File > Save so that all future projects started from the template will be using your new settings.

Why call it framework?

We have used many templates across various practices. As trained architects and experienced ARCHICAD users, we think that ‘template’ is not an adequate word to describe mACT as it implies a one fits all approach and solution. In our experience, this is an illusion: there are far too many different project types, usage scenarios and individual preferences at play.

“Framework”, for us, best describes what mACT is all about – mACT will give you a solid skeleton to guide you through ARCHICAD without getting in the way as your business and projects grow. It also directly relates to the best practice workflows and modelling techniques explained in our Field Guides for ARCHICAD.

Who created mACT?

mACT represents the distillation of our combined 30+ years experience integrating practice and technology in some of Australia’s most successful architectural practices. To meet the team behind mACT please head over to macinteract.

macinteract is a Sydney, Australia-based company providing Apple-based IT services to creative professionals. macinteract is comprised of real people. We are a group of architects and designers with extensive international professional experience using, ARCHICAD, Vectorworks and SketchUp, mainly on Apple OSX alongside several professional rendering and other creative software packages.

Why do you offer mACT, the Objects and Field Guides?

In our experience, ARCHICAD doesn’t just work ‘out of the box’. In fact, one major benefit ofARCHICAD over other BIM software is that it can accommodate your specific requirements if you set it up correctly. Additionally, Graphisoft developsARCHICAD for users worldwide, thus local standards & differences in construction techniques require adjustments.

As we have been teaching, using and adjustingARCHICAD for a very long time, we are convinced other users will benefit from what we have developed over the years.

What happens with the next ARCHICAD version?

Graphisoft constantly improves ARCHICAD, with new features being released in a new version every year.

The same applies to mACT, which constantly gets developed based on our users feedback and our own experiences – please have a look out our release notes for the latest improvements.

Why does mACT cost what it costs?

mACT is an investment into the productivity of your office and has been constantly developed and improved since 2006. In other words, its value exceeds its price by far.

To give you some figures mACT’s price is only approx. 5% of the cost of an ARCHICAD license and is less than you paid in tax for ARCHICAD.
We reckon this is exceptional value.

Can I get a refund after deciding that mACT or any of our other products is / are not the right fit?

Refunds and exchanges are considered to the extent of Australian Consumer Law. Please note once you have downloaded mACT or any of our other products, to your device and opened or used them, then change your mind, macinteract is not legally bound to issue a refund. If the extensive documentation provided on macinteract.com does not answer all of your questions, please get in touch before you commit to a purchase.
