Hi, 

Does someo e know a way to create a classification file outside of Archicad, in Microsoft excel or any other software , without manual intervention? 

Dors archicad developpers create exixsting xml files inside archicad manually?

I write theese lines after months of research on internet, and a lot of xml file editing senarios, some people write formulas in excel to mimic the xml file structure, the they copy the result to the xml file as a fragment, but it doesn't work easily, 

 

Any thought??

 

Thanks

Hello, I am a BIM developer working on classifications and properties for the Swiss market. Are you looking for classifications and properties? What exactly do you want to work on?

I have developed a tool in Excel myself, which can manage classifications and properties and import them into ArchiCAD. Where are you from?

Best regards

Hello,

I'm from Tunisia, we dont have a standard classification system,  so I always need to update my classification naming and numbering, and sometimes creating long properties lists ,
