I have recently commenced a role as a draftsperson using ArchiCAD. I am previously a REVIT user and upon entering this role I was given only basic training using ArchiCAD. Which is fine, I enjoy the challenge.
One feature of Revit I particularly enjoyed was the ability to have multiple windows open simultaneously (3d view, floor plan, section all at the same time for example). This enabled me to instantly see how the changes I was making to a model were affected in a different view, allowing for a speedy understanding of the modelling process.
Is this something that is possible in ArchiCAD? I find it to be a less informative and less productive process when I have to continuously change between screens to see how changes are being affected in a different view.
Any help will be tremendously appreciated.

Go to the "wishes" part of this forum and post this as a "wish." I too believe this would be an amazing addition to the program. I've thought this for many years. One thing I have noticed is that if I have several tabs/views open such as 3D, Section, and plan, one of those often bugs out then crashes. I'm guessing that this overloads the graphics processor or something? If anyone knows how I can keep ArchiCAD from bugging out (psychedelic colors and lines everywhere in one of the windows) when three or more are visible at once. I would love to hear how that can be fixed. I'm running 3 monitors with a pretty beefy graphics card: Quadro K2000m

I've been using archicad for about 2 weeks and this is my first post here. I'm confident it will not be the last....
I've been working on revit since about 2005 though.
I cant seem to figure out how to view multiple windows.
I'm on Archicad 24 and windows machine.
1) I don't have a minimize button on the individual view tabs, only a close button.
2) When I click the "show windows overview" tab the open windows all temporarily open, but if I click on one, all others close.
Any help will be appreciated.

Maybe you are missing the button because it´s somewhat out the the way

It is not in the TAB bar, but is at the top right of the screen.
The larger buttons at the very top are for the Archicad program window itself.
The slightly smaller ones underneath are for the currently open window.
As shown in the image by Jp1138.
When you minimise/reduce a window, the control will now be at the top right corner of that window.

As a follow up quesionts:
1) Is there an "auto-tile-window" function? It seem that the windows require manual sizing each?
2) There seems to be talk of dragging a window onto a second screen in Mac.
I am on a PC, search the forum and the general interwebs, but cant seem to find a similar function.

On Windows, Tabs are constrained to within the Archicad application window. So you would have to resize your Archicad Window to extend two screens. This has been a wish from the community for some time.
A couple of things you may want to know:
- There is only a single Floor Plan Viewpoint and a single 3D Viewpoint, so at any time only one Floor Plan Tab and one 3D Tab can be open.
- The contents of Tabs are redrawn only when you click on them (so they become the active Tab). So you may have the Floor Plan and the 3D next to each other, you make a change in the Floor Plan, but the 3D will update only when you click it. These are some of the "idiosyncrasies" of Archicad.

I do appreciate that if you keep editing in one ArchiCAD session, it will open up "like" windows to match...
But it's not fun having to do it for EVERY window to start
a. Object Main screen / unmaximize
b. 2d script / un maximize
c. 3d scrip / unmaximize
d. etc., etc.

That way we could vote and submit it to Graphisoft for consideration.
