Show/list differences in two object's settings

[eidam655]

Hi,
Hopefully this is the right spot for this question.
What is the easiest way of comparing two objects' properties (settings)?

Let's say I have a two or three windows in a wall and would like to check if e.g. they're on the same height, or have the same dimension. When I select them by shift+clicking and going to Object Settings (Ctrl+T), it shows me only the properties of the last selected object. Sure, I can type in a new number or set a settings anew and it gets applied, but when the difference is less obvious (like buried in Sill settings, for example), is there a way of finding this out?

(In AutoCAD the Properties palette would simply show *VARIES* instead of one value and I'd know instantly that that is where the difference lies. I'm trying to learn new workflows in archicad, but some old habits just die hard...)

It may be pretty cumbersome, but If you were to list all available parameters in a schedule and compare it there?

You would have each object by name or ID and a comparative table of all the properties, but, again, it is very time-consuming and probably inneficient.

Maybe what you need  is  BIM Master.

Hi eidam655,

2 easy and fast posibilities :

Use the "Find and Select" command to with < and or > comparition criterias. You can save, import and export those search criterias.

Create graphical override to visualize Elements corresponding to that criterias.
