If I'm not mistaken, fill and line consolidation is a standard part of archiCAD under the edit/reshape menu.

OK I actually found a use for a new archicad function!!!! Consolidate fills! Well i read about it in the manual, and I read in here that i have to load it, But how in the #@&$@#$& do you do that!!!!!!!!! Archicad Ticks me off to no end, all these goodies and stuff, but you have to download this download that install this and install that, add this to that menu. WHAT A PAIN.
Yes, the Goodies are annoying to download. They are also things that not everyone would want or care about.

Shae, you need to chill a little bro' - this and your other post suggest too much stress, and I don't know that you can blame AC here.
Mac Leopard users have a plus over all other platforms in that they do not have to get frustrated wondering where Graphisoft put a command like this. Leopard offers Spotlight access to all menus from the Help menu of any program.
Screenshot attached shows entering "conso" and then just hovering the mouse over "Reshape > Fill Consolidation...". Leopard then opens the menu under which the command is found and the little blue arrow circles around to point to it for you. Just click if that's what you want to do. (Disabled in screenshot since no fills are selected.) Big time/stress saver.
Cheers,
Karl

Normally, new commands in a new version are available in the new default work environment. It's a good reason to start with that when you migrate, instead of just transferring your old WE.

My rant/pseudoflame was mainly philosophical. More than often the philosophy has been treats over fundamentals. If we didn't have the option to move stuff around in our menus, then they couldn't be customizable. If they weren't customizable, then we wouldn't have an issue when archicad added a "feature." That is the way it has been for a long time. Someone whom uses drop down menus instead of quick keys (why?!?!) complained that they had to go through a bunch of submenus to get to their command. So AC decided to listen (not sure if this is good or bad in THIS particular case) We then ended up where we are. Do we have a right to complain or not, or are all dissenting opinions disallowed by the all mighty developers quorum. This also reverts to the two competing philosophies. Use the program as intended by the developer, or twist it to your uses just because you can. Anyway, I have kicked my little box of soap to the curb and will stay off it for a while.

perhaps it wasn't clear to everyone. I know where it is (or should be in this case) in the menu, so spotlight wouldn't help. It was not showing up in my menu. Due to some crybabies request that you be able to move menus around, it was no showing up when I upgraded and brought up my work environment up from 10. Frankly it wasn't missed until I was looking at manual one night, and thought, wow I might be able to use this feature, and I looked for the feature and it wasn't there. Karl I am on tiger by the way, and it wasn't in my menu so it wouldn't show up. Anyway, I went into the work environment in order to add it, and I found it in the structure where it should be, BUT I couldn't add it. The add button was greyed out. THAT was my question and frustration. .
