Attributes palette

The Attributes palette gives you direct, easy access to any attribute and its settings.

Use Attributes palette to

  • List, manage and edit all the attributes of your current project
  • Import attributes from another project or XML file
  • Save any set of attributes as an XML file
  • Purge unused attributes from the project
    Note: In addition to the Attributes palette, the Attribute Manager dialog box (familiar from earlier Archicad versions) is available. In more complex import/export workflows, you might prefer its two-panel interface to compare two lists of attributes. See Attribute Manager.

Open Attributes Palette

  • Options > Element Attributes > Attributes
  • Attributes toolbar

  • From Profile Manager (click the Attributes shortcut)

Navigate in Attributes palette

Project attributes can be displayed in folder or flat-list view.

In folder view of Attributes, the top section displays each attribute type in a separate folder.

This set of top-level folders is fixed, but you can create any number of sub-folders.

Click any folder to see its contents (any sub-folders and attributes) in the list below. Empty folders are grey.

In list view, see all attributes in a single list, or filter by type (click the attribute’s icon to list only that type).
