how to toggle through elements?

Anonymous — Tue, 23 May 2023 13:19:03 GMT

in archicad 9, where i had several elements on top of each other i could keep clicking in the same place and it would toggle through the elements (such as when i have a roof, wall, and parapet line all on the same line/plane when in 2D mode). in archicad 10 this function to toggle through the elements has gone. if i keep clicking like i used to, it brings up the properties of the first item selected.

is there a way to change it back to the way i could toggle on archicad 9? or some other way?

hold your mouse over, then use TAB sequense.

The new way actually works better. For once.

Once I got used to TAB, I did not even once miss the old click-until-you-get-the-right-one method, especially since it almost never worked if you have multiple elements already selected.

I am certain that it does, but that is how the mind works after an all-nighter.

Enlighten me.

Ah. A euphemism!

In that case, percy would have two bilboes.

Ideal.
