'Lock' Distance Between Multiple Walls

[Lewis at Flourish]

Hi there, I'm attempting to replicate a particular documentation method I used in my past life as a Revit user.

I recognise each program has its own unique philosophies and methodologies, so happy to be told to adjust my documentation approach. 

Question: Is there a way to lock the distance between walls? I am modelling an existing structure, and in Revit would run a dimension string between all the parallel walls and then 'lock' those dimension so that the distance-relationship between those walls could not be altered.    

Operating system used: Windows ArchiCAD 23

There is no relationship like that in Archicad.

But you can 'Group' elements and then as long as grouping is enabled, they will move together.

thanks Barry 🙂

Do note though that grouping walls like this and moving them will not stretch their connections with other walls.
