Tiivistelmä
The goal of this thesis was to create an improved starting template for ArchiCAD 20. The template was to enhance the productivity of an architectural office and make modelling compatible with COBIM 2012 requirements.
The project was carried out in three phases. First, information on best modelling practices was gathered from online sources and COBIM 2012 guidelines. Second, designers and engineers were interviewed to create the template according to their needs. The final phase was modifying the modelling tools within ArchiCAD to finish the template.
The final result was a new starting template that underwent a testing period. During the testing period a few errors were found and fixed, a critical program failure was reported to Graphisoft and a wide variety of recommendations for further modifications were made.
The ArchiCAD template turned out to be successful, promising to be useful in day-to-day work of an architectural office. Future modifications and upgrades seem plausible and the template will undergo further modifications.
