[Solved] ArchiCAD “Error cannot create temporary documents”

I have to work with software ejecta named ArchiCAD (it’s not that bad, but i am so sick and tired of my job lol) and once in a while you get the following message:

"Error cannot create temporary documents"

It can be fixed easily by doing the following:

  1. Go to the drive where you are storing the USERS folder.
  2. Open the user’s folder
  3. Open the Graphisoft folder
    —> So basically “C:\Users\USERNAME\GRAPHISOFT”
  4. You will see the following folders:Screenshot of the graphisoft folder showing a large number of autosave folders.
  5. Delete all those AutoSave-xx-xx folders except for the most recent one which is just named AutoSave-xx (xx for the version of your archicad software) In my case, the total amount of data in these folders was 85Gb. That’s Eighty-Five Gigabyte…..

Done, ArchiCAD will now start again.

Measurements of a double parking garage for your home.

I got a question about whether it was better to have a 5x6m parking garage or a 6×6 one. Well, it depends on your budget, of course. It also comes down to how comfortable you want your parking to be and if you want additional storage space.

One (5,7m) door is expensive, and when it breaks down, you won’t be able to get in (easily) any more. One 3,5m door requires careful parking but is the cheapest option. Personally, I’d go for two 2.6m wide doors, so both cars can be parked comfortably. It also allows for a 20x20cm centre support beam, which can make your construction lighter and more economical.

If you want more storage space, you can make it 6m deep instead of 5m, but this comes at an extra cost. It doesn’t look like much, but it is an additional 2m of wall and 6m² of floor and (flat) roof.
