🏗️ Plan and Build Faster with Arc+

Planning and building changes to a TM1 model is where most development time is spent — and where most mistakes are made. Arc+ gives developers the visibility, validation, and coordination tools they need to plan changes confidently and build them faster, without breaking what already works.

What you'll find in this section

Search Model

A single search box across the entire TM1 model. Find every place a specific element, attribute, dimension, cube, rule, or TI process is referenced — without opening files one by one.

Why it matters: shrinks impact analysis from hours to seconds. Before changing an attribute or removing an element, you can see exactly what depends on it.

Flow Diagram

A visual map of how cubes and processes are connected via rules and TI feeders. See the model's data flow at a glance instead of inferring it from documentation.

Why it matters: new developers can be productive faster, and architectural issues — unintended dependencies, circular references — become obvious before they hit performance.

Best Practice Validation

Built-in rules that score the model against established TM1 best practices. Detects common patterns that cause performance, maintenance, or upgrade problems later.

Why it matters: enforces consistency across a team without relying on every developer remembering every rule. Catches problems while the cost of fixing them is still low.

Lock Objects

Explicitly lock the TM1 objects you're working on so colleagues can't edit them at the same time. Releases the lock when you're done.

Why it matters: eliminates the "two people edited the same rule" class of bug. Parallel development on the same model becomes safe.

Summary

Together these features turn planning and building from a slow, defensive activity into a fast, confident one. Developers see impacts before they make them, design with the whole model in view, get instant feedback on best-practice compliance, and coordinate cleanly with each other.
