Element Properties

Use ARCHICAD Properties to add optional descriptive data to a building element (construction element, object-type element, or zone).

Examples of element properties:

General Ratings (e.g. Fire Resistance Rating, Thermal Transmittance)

Space Boundaries (e.g. headroom)

Product Information (e.g. model, serial number, price)

For each element, its Properties are shown in the Categories and Properties panel of Element Settings.

See Assign and Edit Property Values in Element Settings.

Another, sometimes more convenient way to edit element properties is the Interactive Element Schedule.

See Assign and Edit Property Values in Element Schedule.

The ARCHICAD template comes with predefined properties, but you can use the Property Manager (Options > Property Manager) to create and delete properties and customize their availability.

See Property Manager.
