I was looking for a tool to manage the classification system outside archicad for easier hierarchical numbering, mass editing and more,
Since there's no solution for my wish, my brother, a junior developper, came to my rescue with this tool,
The XL2XML plugin converts the archicad classification into an excel sheet structured in 4 columns
The level indice is generated according to the xml structure, when you convert an xml to excel,
When converting exel to xml , level indice are used to create the hierarchical structure of the classification
The project is opensource, so if someone want to amelorate it, or add new functionality, it will always be welcome,
Here is the donwload link from the developer's Github ,
The file is named Excel2XML.zip
https://github.com/KhaledKammoun/EXCEL2XML
Any encouragement will be appreciated for him 😃
Operating system used: Windows 11

The program is really cool, unfortunately it cannot be used for renaming classifications because it does not preserve attached properties, and the IFC converter converts all classifications to ElementProxy. However, it is an excellent tool for creating a completely new classification system. Thank you and your brother 🙂

Thank you Simona,
I noticed in your Screenshot that you put the class name in the ID field, you work like that, i guess that's a classification system you build your self.
I suggest you to take theese notes in consideration and try if it works for you :
that's why you loose your connections to properties,
the general rule is : Fixed ID, modifiable name.

It is actually original Czech version of Archicad 22 and 2.0 classification system. I noticed that your xlsx looks different, but I didnt realized this could be the problem. It explains a lot of issues I've been having past week 😄
