Button to activate or deactivate 3d editting plane.

Switching the 3D editing plane on and off can be really annoying. Having to dig through Work Environment options to toggle it is far from ideal. It would be so much better to just activate the editing plane when needed by pressing a button in a palette, and then turn it off once editing is done. This seems like a simple feature to implement and would make working in Archicad infinitely more enjoyable.

It's already there?!

Or am I missing anything?

You can assign a keyboard shortcut for it, too.

Yes, the command is called "Editing Plane Display" and it is already available in the View menu. You can also assign keyboard shortcut to it in the Work Environment.
