@ Matthew Lohden Yes. The idea is some think like marketplace/warehouse/appstore. On this repository, companies will keeping their technical data about products actual. User on the other side, can any time connect this repository and get actual information for his work.
Maybe be better some example:
You creating energy passive house in AC. You want use Eco Designer. Today you must put in table U - Value of any material you want to use. That means visit web sites each one producent, search for informations.
On my way: You easy connect to repository, select category (like thermal insulation) in this category download fills from manufacturer where you like.
Any of this fill be contains some predefined gdl values.
Now you get back, open sandwich manager, chose material you want use in our design. All informations are already set up, you can also confront with material bring best value...
This "fills" will be just a part of bigger web site on witch (maybe using gdl object adapter) will be stored Archicad models and objects. All of this objects will have predefined relevant informations.
From Archicad 8.5 all the way to the present.
Passionate Autocad hater as well.
Wish to save palets and menus individualy in work enviroments:
