The built-in audits
archiAuditor ships with 29 audits. They are ordinary audits, not special cases: you can see how each one is built and copy any of them as a starting point for your own.
Layers: elements on the Archicad layer, elements on a hidden layer, elements on a locked layer.
Classification and data: unclassified elements, Structural Function undefined, Position undefined, empty element ID, duplicate element IDs.
Stories and elevation: not linked to a story top, bottom offset from home story, body outside its home story, custom show-on-stories setting.
Structure: load-bearing elements, columns, beams and slabs marked non-load-bearing, thin walls taller than 3 m, surface overrides.
Openings: doors and windows without ID, openings on a different layer than their wall.
Zones: zones without a number, zones without a name, manually drawn zones.
Renovation: demolished elements, renovation status other than Existing.
Hygiene: hotlinked elements, grouped elements, morphs, elements far from the project origin, zero-length and tiny elements, dimensions with static points.
Audits that are not errors
Several built-ins describe a condition rather than a mistake: load-bearing elements, hotlinked elements, grouped elements, morphs, demolished elements. Run them to see where something is, not to be told it is wrong. Whether a morph or a manually drawn zone is a problem depends on your office standard, which is why archiAuditor reports and colours them instead of ranking them.
Custom audits
Build your own from roughly 55 element fields: layer, story, renovation status, classification, properties, structural function, position, element ID, building material, composite, profile, element type, thickness, height, offsets, opening width and height, zone name, number, area and category, GDL parameters, distance from the project origin, and more. Combine conditions with AND and OR, pick a colour, and the audit behaves exactly like a built-in one.
Properties and GDL parameters are how you reach data that is specific to your template: a fire rating, an egress flag, a cost code, an office-specific property group. If you can schedule it in Archicad, you can generally audit on it.
Audit Sets
An Audit Set is a named group of audits: the set you run at concept stage, the set you run before an IFC handover, the set a particular client asks for. Save a set once and run it as a unit rather than re-ticking boxes.
Sharing sets across the office
Audit Sets are plain JSON files. Export one and send it to a colleague, or point archiAuditor at a folder on the office server so everyone picks up the same sets from the same place. That folder is how an office standard stays one standard instead of drifting into one copy per machine.
Highlighting and the results table
Each audit carries a colour, and its failing elements are highlighted in that colour so overlapping results stay readable. On Archicad 29 and 30 the elements that passed are dimmed. The table lists each failing element with the fields the audit tested, so you can usually tell why something failed without selecting it. Highlights are cleared when you close the palette.
Working from a section or elevation
Audits sweep the whole model regardless of which window is active, so you can run from a section window. Zooming to an element switches story and is done from the floor plan; from other windows the row still selects the element.
