But there is one other setting that effects what is seen and how it is seen, and that should also be a drop-down that I wish was available here and on every tool and that is the Model View Options. The MVO are more global in nature, but I wish it was accessible from here. I know that changing an MVO for a door does so for all doors, but it should be allowed from a single door settings box. At the minimum the current MVO settings should be viewable so the use can know what is happening from a single window that controls doors.
Yes MVO settings are global across the entire project and can be saved in different combinations (or schemes), so that you can use a different MVO combination in each view of your model.
So effectively you can have multiple views of the same part of your model (say a floor plan) and by using different MVO (as well as Graphic Overrides and Renovation Filters), you can achieve different looking plans but with the same elements.
If an object (or door/window) has been scripted properly, it should have an option to use the MVO settings or not.
If using the MVO then it will be controlled globally by the MVO together with all of the other objects set to do so.
If set not to use the MVO, then ideally you should then have the same settings (as in the MVO) in the parameters of the object so that you can control them in the object itself.
This is not always the case though - as I say they have to be scripted to allow this.
