Native ArchiCAD GDL Object Library Development We are an Australian manufacturer of commercial drinking fountains and water refill stations, established 2006, with over 10,000 units installed across Australia and New Zealand. We have an established Revit family library used by specifying architects. We now need native ArchiCAD GDL equivalents so the same architects can specify our products from ArchiCAD. Scope Four native parametric GDL objects (.gsm), packaged into a single ArchiCAD library container (.lcf): Drinking Fountain — single family containing three product types (Classic, Universal, Universal 2). Controls: unit, pod and refill pod material (Pantone colours), pod heights (770/800/930/1020mm matrix), tap clock position, left and right pod clock positions, visibility toggles for refill pod, dog bowl, pedals, plumbing connection. Twin Refill — two types (Kids 1330mm, Juniors 1530mm). Controls: colour, visibility toggles for dog bowl, pedals, plumbing connection. Wall Drinking — single family. Controls: colour, height, tap position, splashback visibility. Wall Refill — single family. Controls: colour, height, drain outlet position. Also required ArchiCAD user guide PDF mirroring our existing Revit guide Sample ArchiCAD project (.pln) showing the objects placed Ongoing maintenance arrangement for future updates Source files we provide Existing .rfa source files for all 4 families. A 27-page Families Guide PDF documenting the parameter logic, geometry, and use of each family. Please include in your proposal Indicative fixed-price quote for the work above Timeline (we are targeting 6-10 weeks) Two examples of prior parametric GDL work for manufacturer libraries, with object screenshots or downloadable samples Two contactable references from prior clients Whether you are available to maintain the library going forward About us aquaBUBBLER, Melbourne, Australia. 20 years in business. Architect specification is core to our growth strategy — quality of the BIM content matters because it goes directly into design documents.

Hello, I understand that aquaBUBBLER requires the development of a native ArchiCAD GDL Object Library to enable architects to specify your commercial drinking fountains and water refill stations efficiently. I will create four parametric GDL objects packaged into a single ArchiCAD library container, ensuring detailed controls and visibility toggles for various product types. Additionally, I will provide an ArchiCAD user guide, a sample project, and commit to ongoing maintenance. Please review our Freelancer Portfolio through the links provided below. =================================== https://www.freelancer.com/u/CreativeDesign50 =================================== Deliverable Format: ArchiCAD GDL Objects (.gsm), ArchiCAD Library Container (.lcf), User Guide PDF, Sample .pln Project Expertise: 3D Modelling, Revit Communication: Available during Australia's time zone Looking forward to the opportunity to work on this project and establish a mutually beneficial partnership.

Hi, This is Maksim. I completely understand that aquaBUBBLER requires a native, highly parametric ArchiCAD GDL library container (.lcf) to mirror your established Revit family logic, ensuring specifying architects in Australia and New Zealand can seamlessly integrate your commercial drinking fountains and water refill stations into their ArchiCAD workflows. Your project demands translating complex Revit parameters—such as the multi-height pod matrices (770mm to 1020mm), clock-position configurations for taps and pods, plumbing visibility toggles, and Pantone color mappings—into clean, lightweight, and robust GDL scripts (.gsm). With over 10 years of experience in structural design, high-precision CAD/BIM modeling, and cross-platform component mapping, I specialize in creating optimized, code-compliant object libraries that maintain geometric accuracy without bloating project file sizes. I will meticulously script all four native GDL objects—the Drinking Fountain matrix, Twin Refill, Wall Drinking, and Wall Refill—ensuring 2D architectural symbols and 3D parametric behaviors match your 27-page Families Guide perfectly. Alongside the library, I will deliver a comprehensive ArchiCAD user guide PDF, a fully set-up sample project (.pln) demonstrating proper object placement, and clean structural layouts ready for specification documents. Thanks.

Hi there, With over two decades in the industry encompassing diverse sectors ranging from Architectural & Civil to Mechanical & CAD/CAM, I possess a unique skill set that makes me a great potential candidate for your project. My extensive experience with Revit makes me quite proficient in handling GDL object libraries similar to what you're looking for. In fact, I've successfully developed parametric GDL objects for manufacturer libraries in the past, and I'd be happy to share some examples with you. Moreover, my proficiency extends beyond just Revit and GDL work. I am familiar with ArchiCAD and have worked on several 3D modelling projects as well, equipping me with the relevant knowledge for this job.

I understand you need four native ArchiCAD GDL objects, packaged as an .lcf, to mirror your existing Revit families for commercial drinking fountains and water refill stations, covering single and dual-user models, with Classic, Universal, and Accessible variants. I recently developed a parametric GDL library for a furniture manufacturer, which is now used by architectural firms specifying their products in ArchiCAD. My approach will involve creating individual .gsm files for each product type, ensuring they are fully parametric and respond accurately to user-defined dimensions and material selections. I will use ArchiCAD's GDL scripting environment, testing each object rigorously for performance and accuracy within ArchiCAD projects, before packaging them into a single .lcf file. For the single family containing three product types, will the GDL object logic be managed via a master parameter that switches between the three product types, or will each product type be a distinct object within the same .gsm file? Ready to start as soon as you confirm scope.
