Define Data Dictionary Content and Specific Project Requirements

The Cobuilder add-on for Archicad empowers users to seamlessly incorporate properties from the Define Data Dictionary or Project Information Requirements from Cobuilder Link, facilitating the accurate application of properties and specifications to model elements. This tool is designed to streamline workflows by linking BIM requirements to model elements efficiently, supporting data consistency, compliance, and collaboration across project phases.

Direct Retrieval of Relevant properties

This includes the properties from the data templates or information requirements with the ability of filtering them by object, applicability milestone or intended purpose.
