Learning Resources & Practical Use Cases for Allplan Visual Scripting


Hello Allplan Community and Support Team,

I am currently learning and experimenting with Allplan Visual Scripting (Workflow type) and would like to ask if there are learning materials, examples, or use-case collections that go beyond the basic documentation.

In particular, I am looking for practical, real-world use cases, such as:

Assigning and modifying attributes using Visual Scripting

Reading existing attributes (e.g. IFC Entity, user attributes)

Assigning or updating attributes based on conditions

Rule-based model changes

Changing line color, pen, layer, or format of existing model elements

Applying rules like:
“If IFC Entity = IfcBeam → set line color = red”
“If IFC Entity = IfcColumn → set line color = blue”

Geometry-based automation

Selecting a rectangular element

Automatically drawing a wall (or other elements) around the selected geometry

Deriving geometry from existing elements

The official documentation explains the basics, but it would be very helpful to have:

Step-by-step example workflows

Sample scripts (especially Workflow type)

Community use cases or tutorials showing complete solutions

If there are:

Internal examples

Training material

Forum threads

Videos or sample projects

that explain these kinds of workflows, I would greatly appreciate if you could share them.

I believe such examples would be very valuable for many users who want to adopt Visual Scripting for rule-based modeling and automation in daily BIM workflows.

Thank you in advance for your support and for maintaining such a powerful feature in Allplan.

Hi,

Thank you for your interest in Visual Scripting in Allplan.

To go beyond the basic documentation, I can recommend the following:

The LEARNNOW Allplan platform, with courses dedicated to Allplan and workflow automation:
https://learnnow.allplan.com/course/view.php?id=388 (in French now but soon in English too)

My YouTube channel, where I regularly publish tutorials and mini-series about Visual Scripting, automation, and practical real-world use cases in Allplan:

My LinkedIn profile, where I also share examples:

If you have any questions about a specific use case or script, feel free to contact me again — I’ll be happy to discuss it.

Best regards
Christophe
