subraction with upward extrusion as default

Dave Brach
Advocate
after 11 years of using archicad, I notice that when I use SEO, 99% of the time I am doing "subtraction with upward extrusion. I would love to have a separate button on the toolbar for this, or at the very least change the default SEO from "subtraction" to subtraction with upward extrusion.

This is interesting because I have recently done some modeling and most of the time I was using the "Subtraction" operation in the SEO Palette. So, I do not think that setting this setting to one or another option will be universally good for all users.
Maybe the better option would be to have the ability for the user to select one of the options as Default. The choice would be saved with the Work Environment (which contains user-specific choices).

Another way (and maybe the easiest way) to solve this would be for the SEO Dialog to simply remember the last state of the "Choose Operation" field, instead of always reverting back to the "Subtraction" option when you close the Palette.
