Having them in 3D is a good way to coordinate openings and other things to reduce cut waste. In the CD stage I find using Rhino and GH to generate 0mm thick Morphs to represent the courses (ok, it might seem I use them for everything.) - they can have the Wall ID as part of their ID + the course nr. I created a similar object for the same purpose. Another example - brick count tool, that can be placed on top of wall section to show bricks - as temporary solution using GDL programming.
I just tried to create more advanced system. When you are making proper construction documentation trying to follow all national CAD standards - facing to these small limitations of ArchiCAD tools. I hope to receive more support and response for this forum, as currently in London is total silence. After taking some break I have to continue to improve amount and quality of the library parts. The only weak point of it - libraries been developed for needs of running project and do not cover everything.
I hope this work can be useful for many architects, who wants to achieve high quality BIM models and construction documentation. The quality of BIMx models was really high and builders used iPads on site. We built a house in the Centre of London - and it was really helpful for construction. It uses real product, that after generates detailed schedules of parts for procurement (with codes from manufacturer catalogue).Īll these features have been tested on running project in Design and Build company. Quite nice parts for MEP - drainage, ventilation and electrical sockets. I also introduced 5 levels of details (how it suppose to be by international BIM standards). This tool actually use technique when GDL script generates another GDL script. So it can be anything - library parts, morphs. There is built-in simple database - where user can enter description of the product and photo - after program automatically matches elements in the project by ID and generates nice looking schedule. There is quite cool and simple tool for scheduling by using old listing feature (ArchiCAD feature that is hidden now by default). For example it's possible instantly change the font in all markers in the project. Important part of the template and library - to control as much parameters as possible via MVO - for example all custom labels and markers sizes are connected to MVO (as well pens), as well font. For example I used the same template (with modifications of course) in Israel - with Hebrew language support - also was good. But can be adopted for another countries standards too. It's been developed for UK because I live here. Achieve better automation with simple GDL tools. Organise folders and views, make drawings publishing faster.

The main point of the library and the template - to extend standard ArchiCAD settings for more professional workflow (i.e. I'm getting better soon already past 10 years (approximately). If there are people who want to help me to continue this development - I would be more than happy. I just stack in the middle because of health problems - I've got a disability.
This development is something that I didn't finish to develop and have to continue. But if someone want to use it in their practise - please write me, I can connect the library to your ArchiCAD license.Īlso included Manual, that explains basics of the template. Currently I set, that library will work until September this year in any computer. Originally was idea that workers wouldn't take a library from the office and use it somewhere else. I also implemented library protection by connecting it to ArchiCAD licence number. I haven't considered yet to open the source. I though that Graphisoft UK might be interested (in time when I stared they had very weak template), but somehow they are too much ignorant about private developments.

I have decided to give a link to the template and library I have developed for projects I've been working on.įeel free to download and review.
