Let's see. You think that want a box to directly switch layers to show design alternatives.
Except you really need to have a quick switch between later SETS, because anyone who actually produces a building DESIGN knows that multiple layers is better than one. And we sort of already have this in the layer sets list buried at the third level beneath the document menu dropdown. Some planning of the layer sets gets you a straight-forward presentation set....
What if, using the customizing tools already present in ArchiCAD, and without any gobbledigook programming, we could get a layer set list to appear in the menu list bar at the top of the screen? Would that do it? [This is a great way to promote anything that can't be shortcut any other way]
Using the Menus options under Work Environment we can create this list. See the attached. Yes, it does need to be pulled down, but it is very direct.
Likewise, if you can at all organize your design alternatives, and save the views, there are many view options in the organizer/ navigator listings. So there they are, right next to the drawing layout.....
Or have I missed the point?
Not actually. I'm well aware of how to reach layer combos and such. The question I posed is actually from one of our most skillful customers. They have loads of kitchen interiors linked as modules into the main model and these modules are connected to appropriate layers. It's a possibility to create a layer combo for each layer but now I think you understand why I asked for layers.
The thing is to replace powerpoint for a customer presentation...AC in fullscreen mode, hide all tolbars and such except from the layers on/off, and you can do a swell presentation with the best piece of fine art there is!
