Number of elements in layers of the total project

[Anonymous]

Goodmorning forum,
I was wondering if there is a way to see if a layer contains any object/drawing element at all (all views,sheets,sections etc)
Cheers!

Anestis:

One way to check is to open Attribute Manager, set to Layers and see if there is a check mark next to the Layer name. One caveat is that if a Tool is set to a layer by default, then the check mark will appear, even thought there is no element on that Layer.

One way to avoid that is to set your Document> Layers> Layer Extras> Active Layer to 'One Active Layer for all Elements'. Then set any tool's default to the ArchiCAD Layer, which sets all tool default layers to the ArchiCAD Layer. Do this prior to opening the Attribute Manager.

Thank you both for the replies!
I was hoping for a more straight-forward solution, maybe a schedule or something like this.


Thank you for the tips thought!

You could create schedule but it can only fine 3D elements and fills in the plan.
It won't find any 2D elements (apart from fills) and it won't find anything in sections, elevations, details, layouts, etc.
