Hi!

There are different ways of producing an area with different buildings, which are you prefered?

Examples :
Got 5 different types of buildings with different storyheights and different materials.
A terrain that change levels.

The area should have a layout and an up2date 3d view.



I don't think hotlinks is the way to go here, I think GDL is the only way but then I missing the automatic updates that I have in hotlinks.

How do you do?

Maybe ArchiCad could give us a new function / tool in toolbox : "external model" that work similary like Object tool... I have to write down a wish I guess...
