Yes. Go to your favorites preferences. Here you can set various parameters to change (or not change) when you apply the favorite. If you tick the 'Layers' box, then when you apply a favorite to something in your drawing and the layer won't change. Sorry about the vague explanation, hope it's of some use though.

I don't think there are tabs or any other way of organising favorites, some folders or something would be really useful.

Maybe I was to vague. I was wondering if when a favorite is loaded into the pallete if the layer that were missing for the particular tools could be imported. Is there a way to save and load a list of Layers? And if so, how? It would also be nice to see the favorited pallete set up like the navigator with the tabs at the top and a way to switch between one pallete to another.

Jeremy:

Layers and Layer Combinations (as well as other file attributes) can be loaded from other ArchiCAD files using Attribute Manager, found under the Options menu.
