good point.
and taking it further: graphisoft could implement x-ref management a little better by havingarchicaddelete these layers when you detach (or unload - again i can't remember which, but the one that gets rid of the x-ref completely) the x-ref. presumably this isn't possible at present becausearchicad allows you to create new information on an x-ref layer?)
just my 2p!
thanks

We use the cisfb system to prefix layers - "A-21 external walls" for example - and have layer "A-21 external walls-det" (for smaller scale details, not shown on GA plans), "A-21 external walls-dims" etc. If the 'minor' layers could be grouped under the major element it would make the layer list a lot shorter for general use.
it would be very benefitial for the layers list to be capable of handling nested layers (ie hierarchial)...

Xrefs then come in the same way they do in AutoCAD but with the added benifit that when you detach the xref later all of the layers get removed from your ArchiCAD file

afaik archicad 8doesn'tdelete an x-refs layers if you choose to detach it! probably an 8.0 bug thing. i haven't tried in archicad 8.1 yet, but common sense says that if you are able to draw into an x-ref layer, x-ref management shouldn't be able to delete them either . . ? it would be a bit like allowing a team member to delete any old layer in a teamwork project with other members signed in!
please enlighten me if your version of 8 does delete the layers . . . i'll try and figure out what's up with mine.
