In the age of BIM it would be essential to have a cladding tool.

The composite structure seems to be a little bit restrictive ... in fact most of the time claddings do not follow the same levels of the wall ... so you need to have plaster until a certain level, than need to have ventilated facade, and so on ... so your cladding elements have no relation with the wall in terms of heights ...
So I would intend the cladding tool as nothing more than a function that bond together a wall to other elements such as walls, beams, columns ...
- moving the wall all the other things move also

Yes, I know it but never used.
Anyway it's a good starting point.
I imagine a function that let us use the ordinary archicad elements, which are always faster than every object, and just bond together on the fly on the need ...
