layer combinations live update in project

“When layer visibility changes and a view becomes ‘Custom,’ Archicad could show an Update Layer Combination button right next to the combo name in the Quick Options bar.
This would let users update or save the current state instantly, without opening the Layer Settings dialog — improving workflow speed.”

feels like i am forever opening the layer dialog to update, remember the layer, chose it, then update, would be easier to "live" update the combinations while window is open. 

 

Operating system used: Mac Intel-based

Archicad does not have this function so ArchiXT did it for us with a perfect live sync pallet to move around all the combinations and update them instantly with a press a  button (or shortcut!!!! You have to try this).

This is a life saver!!!!!

 

Contact @BerndSchwarzenbacher and ask for I trial. I am using this since the time it was released. Can't live without it.

Thanks for the reply, I will contact Bernd and see how the sync pallet works for me, appreciated!!!

 

how do the Devs get to see this for future updates in AC, surely its an easy adjustment to the software. seems logical for future releases. 

 

 

A lot of things might look logical but, in my humble opinion, if something is offered by a creative developer like Bernd I  am not going to wait (or complain) for 10 years for something to be integrated.

 

If something improves and speeds up my workflow I go and get it.
