views in multiple windows

Anonymous — Fri, 26 May 2023 12:28:15 GMT

Hi,

I'm new to archicad and I was wondering if it was possible to see multiple views in multiple windows, such as seeing floor 1 in one window and simultaneously seeing an axon in another window.

- Thanks

You can arrange multiple windows to be visible (by resizing them and placing them next to each other), but only one will be the active window, the others will not update to reflect changes to the model until they are made the active window.

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.

A fellow employee who comes from a Revit background was very disappointed that ArchiCAD does not allow this, when Revit can.

Actually you can adjust each window to work with multiple views, but the drawback is that each window doesn't preserve it's view's properties. Once you jump from one to another the latest view's options will override the other windows original set.
We should be wishing each ACs window could preserve their original properties from the viewmap.

To keep view options, use the View Map, not the Project Map, in the Navigator to change views.
