Detecting/Measuring Groups in ARCHICAD

rohanbailey — Wed, 08 Jan 2020 00:00:01 GMT

Hi, I read information in the ARCHICAD Help Center Knowledgebase that :

Sometimes the program [ARCHICAD] is slow because the Project contains lots of Groups (hundreds or even thousands of them). This can be caused by inadvertently grouping elements and multiplying them. [...] you may not be aware just how many groups you have in your Project. The slowdown caused by groups is most visible in the speed of selection/deselection on the Floor Plan.

Is there any way of determining the number of groups in a model through ARCHICAD or a third-party software? How would you do that?

Is there ANY way of determining how many groups are in an ARCHICAD project file???

The answer is no. You would probably have to write an Add-On in API to achieve this functionality.
There was another thread about this a while ago:
