how many unintended hotspots do you find in your project at the end of each day?

Here is one very easy opportunity to improve ArchiCAD efficiency
Hotspots are projected by default when user has a wall selected and Ctrl-clicks to extend it, unless wall tool was also pre-selected
You can confirm all the wasted time & mouse clicks from this default behaviour for yourself - how many unintended hotspots do you find in your project at the end of each day?

on a standard 30" monitor, tracking your eye right across to the tool pallet & then back, just to check the right tool happens to have been left active every time is just plain stupid, inefficient and wasteful.

I agree with Matthew; it's been a long time since I had views cluttered with hotspots.
Improve your modleing and editing skills and you'll soon forget you ever had the problem

My skills are fine!
