Until #ArchiCAD22, the GDL editor doesn't have the feature for automatic saving, so make sure that you save your progress in the library part, and on the hard disk. USE THEM ( prevents spaghetti to some extense).ĥ.Don't put a password on your library parts until you finish, and before that make sure that you have a secured open copy.Ħ.You need to save your progress frequently and in many places. #GDL have more than enough methods and procedures for creating a good structured script or to divide it in manageable portions. But if you find yourself entangled with a spaghetti code that didn't have comments and/or a report on this library part programming schema, ask your client if its possible to rewrite it from scratch, you will save time, effort and your sanity, and don't forget to write comments ( return to point 2). If you were given the task of editing a library part that was written by another programmer, that didn't have comments but was easy to fix, then fix it and write the comments for every snippet ( return to point 2). If you write the code for both, and you don't write comments, then remember this photo, as for sure you will suffer this poor guy's fate ( see meme).ģ.Spaghetti code. If you write the code for others, then remember that we as humans are not telepathic creatures or fortune tellers.

If you write the code for yourself, then remember that we as humans are forgetful.
