So I’ve been diving deep into the LP_XMLConverter. A great tool! There is a -compatibility argument that you can pass an archicad version to the tool. However it only allows this argument to be used when decompiling gsm’s to xml/hsf. How can I instead compile a gsm for a spe...

Thanks for your comprehensive response, just a follow up on the isolated room layout plans. What you’ve described is what we also do, but the hurdle comes when you need to visually isolate an individual room, and have notation, labels and dimensions surrounding just that roo...
