CHANGE MULTIPLE OBJECTS TO COMMON LAYER

Tom Krowka — Tue, 23 May 2023 14:16:17 GMT

Did we lose a button on AC20. There used to be one right adjacent to the layer button on the object toolbar if one selected several objects that were on different layers. How can I change multiple selected objects to one common layer when they are on differing layers.
Thanks.

During Beta 20 GSHQ said that after analyzing user keystrokes that "Edit Selection Set" was not often used. Still on the menu bar, but the chuckle is gone

All I know is that very often I find my self having to select several elements in different layers and want to change them to the same layer and Archicad cannot do them all at once, and it should.

That is what the "Edit Selection Set" command has always done. It will let you edit the common parameters between different objects.

FWIW since I always used the shortcut (MacOS CMD+Opt+T) I never used the button so I don't miss it.

And you can still add the button to a toolbar - it is just not in the info box any more to give a bit more space to the layer name.

I added it to a custom toolbar.
Located it just above where it resided in the pre AC20 infobox.
