This ArchiCAD add-on provides automated tools to extract parameters from GDL objects and map them directly into project element properties. Designed as a utility extension for the ArchiCAD environment, this add-on streamlines data handling for complex BIM workflows. It functions by scanning placed GDL objects within a project file, identifying their specific parameters, and systematically writing that data into defined element properties. This process eliminates manual entry, ensuring that object-level information is accurately reflected in schedules and property-driven documentation. The toolset includes several auxiliary commands intended to simplify repetitive tasks, providing a more robust interface for managing non-graphical data across large-scale architectural projects where consistent information management is critical for downstream reporting.

Users install this utility through the standard ArchiCAD add-on manager. Once active, the tool is accessed via the menu interface to select target elements or objects within the model. By running the script, the add-on automatically propagates parameter values into the designated properties, which can then be utilised in interactive schedules, graphic overrides, or data exports. It is essential to ensure that property definitions match the expected data types before execution to prevent errors.
This add-on is indispensable for BIM managers and architects handling data-heavy projects in residential, commercial, or hospitality sectors. It is particularly effective during the design development and construction documentation stages, where synchronising object parameters with project-wide schedules is necessary for accurate material take-offs and room data sheets. Professionals looking to automate BIM data workflows or improve the reliability of information extraction from GDL library parts will find this tool essential for maintaining data integrity throughout the project lifecycle.
