When ever I want to create a new library part, parameters with the prefix of "FM_" are still available.<BR /> 2. There is nothing written in Graphisoft's modern manuals and guides, except in GDL reference manual and I quote <BLOCKQUOTE>FM_ is reserved for ArchiFM (e.g. FM_Type)</BLOCKQUOTE> nothing more, nada, niet, لا شيء<BR /> 3. There were some core similarities between "FM_" prefixed parameters and "COBie".<BR /> <BR /> So here are my questions:<BR /> 1. What happened between to the partner solution of ArchiFM ?<BR /> 2. Why modern Graphisoft's literature do not mention anything more about "FM_" parameters ?<BR /> 3. Is there any obscure or practical reason to maintain "FM_" prefixed parameters when we already have "COBie"?<BR /> <BR /> Thank you in advance</R></DIV> Wed, 08 Jan 2020 11:52:46 GMT Nader Belal 2020-01-08T11:52:46Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/ArchiCAD-s-Library-Parts-quot-FM-quot-parameters-Facility/m-p/284556#M37298 <DIV class="actalk-migrated-content"><R>Hi there,<BR /> <BR /> This question is for Graphisoft team.<BR /> <BR /> Few days ago, I rescued and old document for GDL standards that was published in year 2000, and I have found out that there few pages that were dedicate to a group of parameters with the "FM_" prefix, that were made specifically for ArchiFM.<BR /> <BR /> What have drawn my attention are:<BR /> 1.
