Show/list differences in two object's settings

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...)
