This is the first time I’m cross posting something I wrote on BIM Engine here as well. If you use ArchiCAD, you’ll want to read about the Attribute Manager. And you’ll also want to download the .aat file that I provide at the end of the post. Be warned it’s a long post and it might require more than one reading. Please post comments there rather than here.

Fixing Error Messages and Ugliness with the Attribute Manager

If you aren’t already reading all my ArchiCAD tips on BIM Engine (the official Graphisoft North America Blog), you should be. I’m posting more and more of my ArchiCAD thoughts there. I seem to be averaging at least two posts a week. Here’s a link to everything I’ve written for them so far. As of this writing I believe I’m at 24 posts.

Oh and if you missed my post on The Master Complex Profile… do yourself a favor and read that too.
