The way I see it, GS is bringing Demo/new capabilities to ArchiCad.
Maybe next version?

Yes and no. A lot of future features show up in the special menu before they become active functions of the program, and the curved wall method appeared in GDL before it became available to the wall tool.
And curved roof elements have been in the GDL since, I think, the mid-ninties.
Still, the question remains. Why are those variables tucked in there?That, of course, remains to be seen.

I'd like to see that the windows and doors can be assigned to different layers from the walls they're placed in. If I could place a window on a demo layer, turn off the demo layer in the new view, and place a new wall segment in the hole in the existing wall that the demo'd window was in... well, that would work OK for me.
The idea of D/E/N parameters blows my mind a little bit. In a good way.

Otherwise, with doors and windows on different layers, if you turned off the Demo doors how would you know where you had to infill the opening?

Stuart wrote:Exactly. But in reality if you remove a door or window from a wall there IS a hole to fill.
I would think that if the windows/doors were on their own layer(s) seperate from the wall and then you turn that layer(s) off then the window is no longer there to cut the hole in the wall, so there would be no hole to fill?.

There are alot of new modellingsoftwares that won't have layers at all and I must say it's often much easier to work with. I have not worker with Revit but it's only objectoriented and not doesn't use layer?
