ArchiCAD Template and Library - free download

[Podolsky]

Hi there!
I have decided to give a link to the template and library I have developed for projects I've been working on.
Feel free to download and review. Any comments are welcomed.
The Template was developed for UK. I used British standards: BS 8541-2:2011 and BS EN ISO 19650-2:2018
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.
GDL codes are password protected. I haven't considered yet to open the source. I also implemented library protection by connecting it to ArchiCAD licence number. Originally was idea that workers wouldn't take a library from the office and use it somewhere else. Currently I set, that library will work until September this year in any computer. But if someone want to use it in their practise - please write me, I can connect the library to your ArchiCAD license.
Also included Manual, that explains basics of the template.
This development is something that I didn't finish to develop and have to continue. I just stack in the middle because of health problems - I've got a disability.
If there are people who want to help me to continue this development - I would be more than happy.

Here is the link: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/pchebzqlv3qdwa5/AAB4CpKzRHzztFcPObHzuH4ja?dl=0

May I ask - only I have troubles with placing pipes objects ? In my case even 3D preview page of object shows error. I see only their image. Same for tees, elbows etc.
I didn't look through everything, but others seems to work fine.

Thanks Podolsky, for sharing.
Looks like your skill level of ArchiCAD and GDL is almost unreachable.

All MEP objects must work, as I designed and used them on my projects. There are two reasons why objects can give error - when data files in embedded library are missing (they embedded by default into template file) and when ArchiCAD MEP library is not connected, because my objects - it's a modification of standard objects and part of object functionality is requested from MEP macro.

They also can have some small errors in user interface on Windows - some text might not shown correctly. It happened because I wrote everything on Mac and didn't test on Windows.

Although each element was used on running projects - still some minor bugs can be expected. But that can be fixed by anyone who knows GDL - and this why I opened source of the library, as unfortunately I cannot push this development further.

You're right - MEP default library wasn't embedded ... (facepalm)
