SO has there been a new thread or update on this archicad limitation?
It seems it's been 10+ years and counting.

It amuses me that this was brought up so long ago and yet there isn't anything developed... Revit had clear advantage on this particular functionality (even though it doesn't work precisely).
Maybe less youtube video comparing speed of duplicating objects for both software from GS point of view and get into working this out - that'd be more helpful?

I dont know how it works in revit, but what i envision here is that the floor levels generates a plane that acts like the cut planes you can use in 3d model to cut the model. These plane would cover the entire project area, and you have the ability to "punch holes" or platforms within the selected plane (like doing a hole in a slab). These "plaforms, while still part of the main cutting plane of its correspondent level, have the ability to be moved in the z axis. So you can have many platforms that cut the model at different heights in any shape, yet they are part of the same level. so you can do this for any floor plan you have. The current cutplane height would still function within this framework relative to the plane i just described.
You can copy this cut plane to the next level and so forth.
For better results, the ability to add levels without generating a floor plan (like in revit), would be inmensely helpful.

Agreed jl_lt.
I don't know how exactly the code was written in Revit but it can be understood like what you described, or alternatively another cutting plane that can cut a hole in the Z direction into the existing one with a different cutting height - whichever way that is easier to program based in Archicad.
Part of the core ideas and methodology of BIM should precisely be that to replace repetitive and labour intensive tasks. Stitching drawings up sounds like the opposite of BIM.

This is not a perfect solution, but what @jl_lt describes can be done now with multiple storey views.
Just create a view for each cutplane level you want and adjust the Floor Plan Cut Plane height to the desired level.
Now you stack all of these views on a single layout, and crop the frame of each to the shape you require for each height.
So you are basically looking at different areas of you plan at different heights.
Reading back through the post I see that Karl had suggested this already.
