Introduction
The Library Part Maker workflow is based on the use of standard 2D and 3D tools and does not require any GDL programming knowledge. The LPM approach focuses on ‘real-life’ manufactured products, in which geometry and information are firmly tied together (e.g. a certain type of product has always a unique bar code number). Yet LPM allows for parametric 2D/3D (LOD-based) and parametric CAD (project attribute-based) 2D symbols and 3D models. Also, LPM greatly simplifies creation and design of complex doors and windows.
Scope
LPM provides tools for creating the following GDL Library Part types:
•Generic Object
•Window
•Door
•Skylight
•Lamp
•MEP Library Parts (fully functional with MEP Library and the MEP Designer Add-on).
