Multiple synchronized views

[ShineJoseph]

A lot of clients are upset about not having synchronised views in Archicad on multiple screens. Having the multicore feature and still unable to open various views like plan, section, 3D etc simultaneously on different screens is greatly lacking in Archicad. Some customers directly rejected Archicad because this main feature is lacking in Archicad. 

People who work in AEC look for a tool that does this. it's extremely important.

Operating system used: Windows 11

Dual screens with instant updating. This is a a top voted wish that has been put on hold by GS, seemingly due to it being deemed unachievable in the foreseeable future.

or maybe you are refering to the ability to have plan, section and elevation all at the same time, like it was common in autocad 3d and other lesser software, something which i missed too when first starting to use archicad.  You can actually do it using Windows views in the upper right corner and placing them to suit your needs in  your workspace; beware the views dont update automatically: if You work in one view, youll need to click in another for the changes you just made to appear.

with time youll see that all of this is irrelevant though, as you can do everything from the 3d view and adjust on section and plan to which you can switch very quickly.

I am aware of this feature. I am afraid I couldn't explain the issue.  The interface settings doe for that is useful only when we have one screen. I am talking about multiple screens. For example, if I work on two screens, I should be able to keep 3D on the second screen and work on a plan on the main screen. other palettes and toolbars can be moved across but the viewpoint is not.

Along with that , even the existing adjustment of the multiple views should be a feature that can be added to the environment settings.

Not on a Windows machine, but I believe you can on a Mac (but I could be wrong about that).

Actually, you can do it on a Windows machine if you stretch the main Archicad program window across all of the monitors.

Then Archicad thinks you are working on one large monitor.

Hi Barry Kelly,

I can confirm that this is possible on a Mac as this is a MacOs feature.
