Our firm has been using archiCAD for a long time but strictly for 3D modeling purposes. Now that 10 is out we are trying to convert to using ArchiCAD for Construction Documents as well. So any help would be appreciated. Or if you have a suggestion as to a better way to set a layer combination for a sheet so that certain things are displayed in the floorplan sheet versus the section sheet etc. Thanks

Thank you for your help. Though, I am not sure where to access that setting. I have found the layer manager for model and for layout book where do I find the one for the view?

An example of where I require this is for key plans, where I've created the different highlighted areas on different layers (eg. Block A, Block B) which I then used to control on the layout. I'm hoping that I dont have to have a lot of layer combinations set up.
Thanks

Not only can we not control layers directly, but we seem to have lost the ability to update our drawings to .pmk's which affect lot's of our old details set up over the years. We also now cannot directly control the layers of .DXF's and .DWG's drawings placed onto our layouts. It's as if we're using a completely new program. I really don't accept the argument that we should continue using V9 for older projects. It wouldn't have been necessary if GS had at least allowed exports to .pmk's
I really don't see the logic of discontinuing these features.
