I have several multistory buildings in project. But in 2D i can select and move only 1 story, all stories can be selected only in 3d. So how can I select all stories in 2d for precise movement?
Thank you in advance.

Eublefar:
On the ToolBox, select the Marquee Tool, on the Info Box, select the left pop up and change to heavy version. For more more information with images, go to Help > ArchiCAD Help, when your browser opens click on the "Search" tab, and input "Marquee Tool" in the search box, in the results list "Marquee Area Definition Options" will show you screen shots.
You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.

Thank you, David and Kliment, it works.
I have another question: I have topographic map in .jpg format, I want to put it as background,
if I just copy+paste it to ArchiCAD it occurs as fixed figure and i can`t change the size of this picture.
So, how can I put picture as background, so its not fixed to current scale?

Whether you insert it as a figure or as a drawing, you are still able to select it and edit it's properties in order to scale it.
You can also use the pet palette to change the size of the image by selecting and holding on the corner of it. Pet palette options and functionality differ slightly for each tool.
