ARCHICAD functionality

This discussion was started in another thread, but then changed into the discussion of various ARCHICAD
functionalities, so the topic was split into its own discussion.

Archicad is also the best and has always been!

Might have been 10 years ago but now it is far from it.
It is embarrassing the basic functions missing in Archicad that all the others have, Vectorworks, Revit, Archline XP, Cheif Architect.
The main downfall of Archicad is that it is the only Software that hasn't a central UI that you open all your projects in. This costs all users of Archicad hours a week in maintenance which the others don't have.
And as said all the basic usability functions which are to many to list which we all miss daily.
In the last few years all Graphisoft has been doing is updating (or making the tools more complicated to use) existing tools (Stairs,Curtain Wall, Beam, Column) which has been only beneficial to some, and this will be happening for a few more years to come. I bet there is a new Door and Window tool next.

Of course with all due respect Eduardo.

All of this layer naming stuff got me wishing that we could have folders within the layer structure and that the layer "palette" could remain open/dockable etc.

long standing wish, not sure it will ever see the light of day

The other option would be to have the visibility of building elements under Category filters which would be a bit more BIM orientated.
