First,
I'have modeled the house, simple things. just walls and roofs, but now I want to make it shorter but I can't find a way to stretch all the elements at the same time: walls, roofs and slabs. The only way that I found to stretch things is doing it element by element and level by level,after pressing the suspend group tool (Alt + G), and this sounds like the opposite of Archicad proposal.
Second,
The Floor Plan Cut Plane is cutting the top of the roof, I to show it, but without changing the Floor Plan cut plane height for the entire level.
Third,
Stair shows only on the home story. I found a way to show it in the upper story, but it is not the way I wanted, when I change the attribute on the Stair Selection Setting>Floor Plan adn Section>Floor Plan Display>Show on Stories to Home and One Story up I can see it in the upper level, but I couldn't find a way to show a different 2D symbol on the upper level (I want only half of the stair to be show on the home story and the full stair w/ continuous lines on the upper level.
Fourth,
Someone here has already tried to see the compatibility between Archicad and 3D Max? What is the best way of exporting? Does it export correctly, with no need for special adjustments? It goes with mapping coordinates?
And Last, is there an Archicad in Portuguese, or a patch to change the language?
Thanks a lot for the support.

Second,In the Roof Settings under Floor Plan Display pick Outlines Only

For example I have two tangent slabs , and I simply can't use the "pet Pallet", I select the desired slab, but when I'm going to click in the node or side of it to activate the pet pallet it simply selects the other slab and then again and again

Forgot one

This is the method I use for all kinds of overlapping elements, not just slabs.
Windows 10 x64
Since ArchiCAD 9

Wow, didn't realize that the marquee tool was so powerful. That was the thing that I was looking for, it can be used in a lot of other things.
Thanks a lot BAS

Duhh! I feel so dumb, I tried this but probably didn't work cause I use a tablet to draw and It's hard to keep the cursor in the same place for too long. But now you said it I figured out a way, Thanks a lot Man.

The stair tool seems to be very limited. How is it possible to make complex stairs, for example: stair with middle platform, or a non rectangular stair, or even a curved one?

I found this Design>Design Stair using selection seems to do the job, but I can't make it work, even if I follow all the steps of the help.
I create a fill, then connect two opposite sides, but it doesn't work. I get the "Improper line of travel, bla,bla,bla" dialog box, but I'm doing the line just the way the help says. Any idea here?
Ahh! about one of my old questions:
Third,I found the wai to do it. Go on the Stair Default Settings>Parameters and turn on Story Sensitive the rest is self explanatory.
Stair shows only on the home story. I found a way to show it in the upper story, but it is not the way I wanted, when I change the attribute on the Stair Selection Setting>Floor Plan adn Section>Floor Plan Display>Show on Stories to Home and One Story up I can see it in the upper level, but I couldn't find a way to show a different 2D symbol on the upper level (I want only half of the stair to be show on the home story and the full stair w/ continuous lines on the upper level.
