Element Property Exporter

Starter example. This entry ships with the marketplace so the site has something to render before real submissions arrive. It links to the official Tapir automation project rather than to original code. Remove it once the catalogue has real listings.

What it does

Takes whatever is currently selected in Archicad, reads the properties you list in a small config block, and writes one CSV row per element. Classification values and element IDs come along as columns, so the output drops straight into a cost plan or a data-validation sheet.

Why you would use it

Archicad's own schedules are excellent inside Archicad and awkward the moment someone asks for the data in a spreadsheet. This exists for the moment a QS asks for "just a list of every door with its fire rating" and you would rather not rebuild a schedule layout to answer it.

Requirements

• Archicad 26, 27 or 28
• Tapir Add-On 1.1.0 or newer for the classification columns (1.0.0 works without them)
• Python 3.10+ with the archicad package installed

Output

The file is written as UTF-8 with a byte-order mark. That is deliberate: without it Excel on Windows mangles any non-ASCII character in a property value, which matters immediately for any project not in English.

Notes

Exporting a very large selection is bounded by how fast Archicad answers property requests, not by the script. A whole-building selection can take a while. Select by storey if you are in a hurry.
