When you've got no library loaded this section of the menu doesn't show.

The last image is another menu-item than in your first message.
Which one are you missing?

The trouble is with my scheme in work environment
if I load the standard scheme the (save selection as ) is available

If I load my scheme or the command layout scheme the
(save selection as) is not available.

Ah, I see what you mean.
Hmm, good question.
Under 'Application commands and menus' they should all be there.
'Save Selection as...' is not the only thing which is missing.

At this point I've have no idea why it's missing.
Maybe you should make a new scheme.

What you are looking for in a predefined menu. If you are lacking the menu, for whatever reason, just recreate it by defining a new menu and adding the appropriate commands.

The point is that he doesn't have the menu item 'Save Selection as...' on the left. It's missing so he can't ad it.

that is correct DontKnow
-- making a new environment can be time consuming ---
--- seems like a bug to me --- maybe someone knows a simple way to get it back ?

The "Save Selection As" menu is only four commands long. Do you have the commands themselves? (Look in the All Commands in Alphabetical Order" from the List toggle. If so, building a four command menu and adding it to your WE is a matter or a minute or two at most.

If you are missing both the menu as well as the commands that is something different.

i was missing all of the commands - none were available --
I am in the process of rebuilding my work environment
one thing I notice is that Archicad 18 does not allow individual commands in the menu bar ( I have been importing my environment with each upgrade and adding any new commands ) and my old menu had several individual commands(not menu's).

By not having the commands do you mean "Cabinet Door", "Curtain Wall Cap"....

Re: missing menu

Erich — Sun, 26 Apr 2015 03:04:49 GMT

If so, you want this command shown in the attached image.

Re: missing menu

RandyC — Sun, 26 Apr 2015 03:25:36 GMT

I had none of the commands ---
I also did not have the "save selection as " menu

I am now rebuilding my environment so I do not want to go back.
however I can send you a link (or graphisoft) that contains my old
work environment - then you can see that these commands, menus do
not exist.
I believe it happened from moving my environment from version to version without doing a complete rebuild.

In the last image notice that the "No CC Subtypes" is the command that adds all the others ("Cabinet Door", "Curtain Wall Cap".... etc.) that appear in the "Save Selection As" Menu. They do not appear separately in the command list.

Transferring your old WE may mean that the menu is not visible or just does not exist, but the command "No CC Subtypes" should still appear under the "All Commands in Alphabetical Order" list. That list is independent of the WE applied. You can see it in both columns in the previous image.

RandyC — Sun, 26 Apr 2015 15:24:45 GMT

Thank you Erich ! I was able to find the commands by following your instructions
I had to create a new "save selection as" and "library" menu then add the command "no CC subtypes " (not sure what this command means)
success !!

Re: missing menu

Erich — Sun, 26 Apr 2015 15:48:46 GMT

Glad I eventually helped!

Yeah, "No CC Subtypes" is not especially descriptive is it.

This topic shows that when editing Menus we could use a Copy Menu/Paste Menu functionality. In that case you could have just copied the "Save Selection As" menu from the Standard Profile and pasted it into your other profile.
