i'm not sure that this exactly what i would like to see, but the principle is something that i have voted as 'essential' for large projects to have a chance in archiCAD.
rather than importing the detail from one archiCAD file to another (duplication=potential for error!) i would prefer this to work much in the same way as alias's/shortcuts in the operating systems:
in this way, you can place a detail marker
linked
to a detail in another project file. when you need to open that detail, archiCAD reads the data from
that files detail module
for editing.
we have a large job split into three phases of building (3 project files) with a master site file for the remainder. 90% of the details are cross-project. there is currently no way of managing this
and maintaining the functionality of the detail tool.
