Door scale not working in archicad 28

in archicad 26 when choosing a door you had an option in the floor plan menu if you wanted the door to be 1:50, 1:200 and so on, in archicad 28 that button seems to have dissapeared? I cat seem to get the door to change even from the geenral scale setting and i dont think going and changing it from model view should be the only option. Has anyone incountered this issue so far?

Yes, this is no longer designed to be able to do that.

This "issue" was downplayed by GS and remains unrecognized. Looks like we need to live with that, or stay with the pre-28 library.

this is such a shame, archicad 28 seemed really nice but i dont know if this is something im willing to let go since im so used to it

 

Yes - the retrograde removal of control of the display of individual elements was indeed brought up during beta and the explanative justification (excuse) was hard to stomach for users needing a modern CAD/BIM application. The right way forward would of course have been to implement criteria based MVO but no - all elements in a view now has to have the same detail representation to be considered proper BIM objects according to GS....
