Completely agree with you. This is critical.

Still badly needed. Posting this redundant comment just to bump this wish in order to get votes in the new Community 😉
PS Do or don't like my post ... but do like the original post in this thread which is the wish vote counter 🙂

I don't disagree with the original twelve year old post, but I do think it is short sighted in relation to potential future development. At some point GS will wake up to the principle of leveraging Categories / Classifications for not just scheduling, but also model display. Given GS's alleged dominance in BIM development I would hope this isn't too far away. For this to work each Fill or Skin in a Profile or Composite should be capable of being allocated attributes as if they were independent elements.
The allocation of the Core / Finish / Other attribute also needs addressed to overcome the current problem of the likes of Morphs where that attribute cannot be assigned. I would suggest that if it isn't assigned / controlled through the Building Material definition then a more appropriate place would be embellishing the existing common "Structural Function" category.

I would say that in essence this is the same wish... as renovation would be completely re-worked if a more powerful capability as you describe were added (which would require fundamental re-writing of most of Archicad code... so I'm not holding my breath). So, hey, doesn't hurt to vote for the old wish... and link to the wish you're referring to (which I'm pretty sure has been on the wishlist for 5 or so years also). 🙂

I’m not holding my breath either, but my suggestion is easier to implement as it is simply down to the assignment and management of attributes. The problem with accommodating the renovation aspect lies in the drawing interface; the user has an expectation of being able to create a profile with multiple fills or a composite with different renovation skins occupying the same space. I’m sure there are many potential development options but the solution will be far from simple to implement. On balance my gut says associative connections may be a more versatile solution to renovation and general modelling.

I think this wish will become realistic when skin-by-skin design is implemented in Archicad, which is on the Roadmap in the Idea Pool category:
