Historically, Cadimage (now operating under the global brand Central Innovation) has maintained a tight synchronization with Graphisoft’s release schedule. During the Archicad 26 cycle, updates for the Cadimage Suite began rolling out shortly after the official Archicad 26 launch.

For Archicad 26, users were required to download the specific Cadimage Installer designed for the 26 platform, as add-ons from Archicad 25 are not cross-compatible.
