Import Property Data from Excel

Note: Part of the Library Part Maker add-on. See Library Part Maker.

In the Properties panel, select an option to define the Library Part’s listing properties:

See also Select Property Scheme.

By default, Library Part Maker uses the “Archicad Listing Parameters scheme”.

Alternatively, you can import a custom scheme together with defined values from an Excel spreadsheet.

The spreadsheet must be formatted to the columnar format with standard column header names as follows:

Property Group

Used for grouping parameter headers in Library Part parameter definitions

Property Name

Used for parameter names, truncating the name to 28 characters

Archicad Data Type

Values in this column define Archicad GDL parameter types. The definition values are limited to the following types:

•Boolean

•Real

•Integer

•Text

•Length

•Angle

The property value sets are defined by the column and will be used in the LPM’s Choose values to Import drop-down list.
