Currently we notice there are a lot of problems with quality of life features from ArchiCAD which are considered 'bad' BIM by contractors.
For example windowsills, lintels etc are very easily added as option from windows/doors, but are required to be specified as a different entity in our IFC exports, so we've resorted to drawings these seperately for projects that require this. We feel like we are dumbing down the model.
Anything that would allow us to specify more parts individually as with curtain wall, stair and railings would help. Just keep the ease of drafting there. No placing of opening and then populating the opening in a 2nd action please!

It could work like railings and stairs. Window or door could be the child element of a wall opening. It could be an option in the "wall opening" tool that creates window or door at the same time. It could also exist a specific workflow for populating all the selected openings at one time with the same sttings, and then the ability of editing them separately.
We can invert this idea and have an option in the "door-window" tool that creates wall opening at the same time. But then, it become editable separately.
Most important is having at the end of the 2 (or more) different elements that combine and can be edited diferently, with different reno status, difernet layers, ID, etc. It could exist many different ways in the workflow to get to this point easily, depending on user's habits or preference.

Even some of the options could be part of the wall settings. How the wall is structuraly made around openings is may be more depending to wall typology that to opening typology. (The same for wall end, top and bottom)

Someones post just reminded me, this would also free up the placement of doors and windows that sit between multiple walls, such between new and existing parts of a wall, or mid storey and offset wall situations. At the moment, you put the door / window in one wall, and cut a faux opening in the other.

I like the idea behind this wish and also wish it will be considered in some form. I wish I could like it many times over.
