Hello Good ABD Community,
So here I'm with a question that I wanted to know for years the answer,
How on earth do you make your own parametric BIM components to load on a Dataset?
Do you make them like compounds cells? Are you doomed to use Parametric Cell Studio? You can only import them from RFA files? Or maybe, and this would the greatest thing ever, you can make them in Generative Components and load them to your dataset?
If anyone can find it on their heart to help me understand this the BIM Gods will be pleased.
Regards
Rafael
depending on what the purpose , stage and LOD of project , in case if your firm is design oriented you need to go by Cell studio and Generative component, since the change is frequently happened, however in case if your firm is construction oriented preferably to go by compound cell and RFA since the return benefits of creating parametric cells will be less .
all of the above is a general opinion.
Thank you for your Reply Nadeem,
But the challenge is to find out how to do it, because we already know what ABD can do (in theory) but I haven't seen the step by step to make my own parametric BIM objects that I can add to the dataset.
.....is someone there?....Anyone?
For somebody to give you some help can you tell us which version of ABD you are using (eg 10.xx.yy.zz)
It would also be helpful if you could give us an example of what you want to achieve… do you want to create a door or a window or a curtain wall assembly or staircase or a piece of furniture or landscape element or a series of shapes as volumes of rooms or buildings for modelling
Each of those could be done but the methodology of which ABD buttons to press in which order (which I think is what you are looking for) will be different.

Hello Ian,
Thank you for your repply,
At first I want to make doors and windows, then I'll like to make a curtain wall assembly and staircases.
