ArchiCAD Template and Library - free download

Podolsky
Ace
Hi there!
I have decided to give a link to the template and library I have developed for projects I've been working on.
Feel free to download and review. Any comments are welcomed.
The Template was developed for UK. I used British standards: BS 8541-2:2011 and BS EN ISO 19650-2:2018
I though that Graphisoft UK might be interested (in time when I stared they had very weak template), but somehow they are too much ignorant about private developments.
GDL codes are password protected. I haven't considered yet to open the source. I also implemented library protection by connecting it to ArchiCAD licence number. Originally was idea that workers wouldn't take a library from the office and use it somewhere else. Currently I set, that library will work until September this year in any computer. But if someone want to use it in their practise - please write me, I can connect the library to your ArchiCAD license.
Also included Manual, that explains basics of the template.
This development is something that I didn't finish to develop and have to continue. I just stack in the middle because of health problems - I've got a disability.
If there are people who want to help me to continue this development - I would be more than happy.

Here is the link: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/pchebzqlv3qdwa5/AAB4CpKzRHzztFcPObHzuH4ja?dl=0

Sad to hear that podolsky! We wish you all the best and that your condition may improve!
Stay strong!

Your legacy will live on in many new, adapted GDLs in local standards and offices, I believe.
What a ballsy move! Thanks
I hope there are people in this world who would be able to continue this work.

So sorry to hear this - and hope that you live where you can receive good care for your condition. Thank you for all of your positive contributions here - including your template, library and its manual - and best wishes for your health.

I'm very sorry to hear that.

I've just had a look at your template over the weekend and there are some truly innovative and excellent ideas. For me, the implementation of the MVO dropdown options for LOD and Markers&Labels and the way they relate to labels, markers and GDL objects is fantastic. Graphisoft should incorporate this.

And the zone marker is very well thought out. It's a simple idea but well thought out and very functional. Little touches like that really elevate the experience of the user. And save time.

There is also some fun stuff like the blue and ochre pensets to mimic old blueprints and sepia drawings.

Now if only GS could give us a graphical interface for designing the graphical interface for GDL objects...

I am really sad to know things are this bad. (...) I truly hope you can somehow overcome your health issues the same way you script those brilliant GDL objects you generously gave us.
Best of luck Podolsky!
