Design Options - Edit Default and Fade Environment

MichaelDohertyie — Thu, 25 Jan 2024 16:28:17 GMT

Anyone come across this bug in the new design options? When I tick 'Edit Default only' my design option gets locked and all of the main model can be edited! Also if I tick 'Fade environment' my design option is faded and the main model stays in its original colors! It should be the other way around. Archicad should be fading out the background to allow me to edit the option. Am I doing something wrong? Have tried on another computer and having the same issue.

Hi @MichaelDohertyie,

I think you should show us a short video or screenshots describing your issue.

You need to make your design option the default (double click).

I've had the same question as Michael. It always seemed backwards.

This is the answer.

Thank you Barry!
