In the mean time I'm waiting for some intrepid soul to build an entire project with everything set to Automatic. Braver yet, an entire project on a single story, with the FPCP defining the various plans. Obviously this is not best practice but as an academic exercise provides a glimpse of where ArchiCAD may be headed.Ooh yes - and maybe the same pionerr could create an entire documentation set based on a few essential layouts and use layer combinations to publish all their drawings at once!
How about a column grid? If we use lines for the column grid it won't show on multiple stories. We have to copy/paste.Looks like this has been addresses now Alex, with the new Grid add-on.

I am pro-story generally. As long as drawing sets have plans that represent stories, AC should have stories. They are intuitive and familiar, a hook into the real world. Like a Wall tool, it's something that one would expect from this thing called a Virtual Building. And there's no reason they preclude, on their own, further plan display flexibility.
As we all know, this topic is gigantic.
