Attribute Management

Anonymous

Does anyone know of a utility for managing software ID's within Archicad?

I have been grappling with project files which should have the same attributes but users have either added or removed some elements from various parts of the attributes set. In particular composites are an issue. If the software ID gets out of sync between two files, overwriting the attributes can cause all sorts of havoc and you don't know where it's going to occur. Even a utility that identifies software ID differences between files would be good as this would at least identify what I'd be looking for.

I know a project wide standard attribute set is ideal but invariably there are changes you don't expect people to do and you still have to deal with them. The attribute manager does show some of the ID's but I need to manage them between multiple files so a comparitive list or even an editor if there is one would make life more consistent.

Cheers

You don't expect the words "nerd" and "rampage" to appear in a sentence together.

But then it seems like "Nerd Rampage" might be a good name for a band.
