AC26 Bug: Can't change layers of light objects

Leandro Paganelli — Thu, 30 Jan 2025 13:18:15 GMT

In Archicad 26 (3003 BRA Solo - Windows), it's not possible to change the light objects' layer in the toolbar. All other type of objects seems to work normally.

It appears I have the same issue.

Though if I enter the Lamp properties, I was able to change the layer in the Properties dialog box.

I just tried with AC26 Build 3010 and it works. I was able to change layers for a selected light using the Info Bar.

Hello,

Thank you all for highlighting this issue!
This is a new bug which is already entered in our database under DEF-10251.

Until the fix of this problem I suggest using the element setting dialog to change the 'Lamp' objects' layers.

Kind regards,

Perhaps this is a Windows only problem? Because it works on Archicad 26 on my Mac.

Apparently only on Windows,
I checked on Archicad 26 INT FULL 3001 version on Windows yesterday, it does not work, only using the element setting dialog.

It has a defect (bug) number and I am sure it will be fixed at some stage.

We just don't know when.

I have learnt not to hold my breath and not expect a bug to be fixed in the next update (or even for some time - if at all).

Especially when there is a simple alternative to get what you want.

It will be a low priority fix.

Barry.
