I have a file which came in through a Revit hotlink. All the objects have arbitrary IDs but have a property with the Revit family name which, in most cases, would make a good ID. I thought the obvious way to sort this is export properties to excel, c...

I have been going round in circles trying to get a model with its properties exported to IFC. I have managed to add the COBie properties and populating them with data which works fine when I export and then reimport the IFC to the properties come thr...

I'm trying to make a custom door marker. One piece of information I want to use is the door leaf thickness. I have been trying to wade through the door script to find out what the parameter might be called with no success. I am looking for the parame...

I am looking to do some work on custom windows, doors etc. and wondered if there is any documentation anywhere of the hierarchy of macros that get called in the standard library so I can see what elements I can call and what I need to build from scra...

I'm probably missing something obvious. The standard windows (Archicad 22, Windows) have settings for the wall closure at either side which works pretty well. What I can't see is any setting for the closure at the window head. I'm not expecting it to...

I'm not quite sure if it fits in this subject, but there seems to be some information about composites that is not available for scheduling. In particular, a skin list label can generate a list of the skins. I would love to have this in a schedule of...

It took me a long time to work this one out. Of course, it is probably unlikely that plasterboard is actually manufactured to 0.5mm precision, but it is what it is sold as.

The problem is that GDL is a really old language (I think it first appeared in 1983) and therefore is based on really old BASIC. Structured programming concepts like functions unfortunately come from later versions of BASIC. It seems that a lot of ex...

Have you tried using the Opening tool? It's not something I've used much before but just played about with it and you can use an opening set as New to cut a hole in a slab set as Existing. This can then be seen in the demolition renovation filters. I...
