Attributes selection floating palette

Hi

i can say this is the work user experience with Archicad since i had started using it, 

i wonder why the attributes floating window is that tiny !!!!!!!!

imagine how it's stressing to scroll to find an attribute in a list of 300 items 

This shoud be fixed as soon as possible, bring back thhe old floating palette please

This shoud be applied and unified for all attributes floating paetts : 

* layers

* Pens

* Hatches

* lines

* Building materials

* Composites

* Complex profiles

* Zones

 

When i open the floating palette i have to see the same design each time, don't le designers be confused, let them FOCUS ON DESIGN.

I brought it up here a couple of weeks ago. It's a big downgrade from the old picker.

Because of all of these downgrades, I am still working on Archicad 25. I'll be waiting for fundamental improvements in Archicad 26 before I can start working on it. It seems that developers are looking for a look, some features, or interface found in Revit when they choose to reduce the contextual menu in Archicad 26. I hope this is about speculation from my part, but not the path they are following now actually.

This utterly stupid downgrade seems proof that nobody at Graphisoft actually uses Archicad any longer.

 

These kinds of failings are inexcusable, although no doubt some product manager will offer us an excuse.

By the way, there have been no excuse press release so far about these mistakes in Archicad 26.

To continue in the same idea of interface problmes, 

the infozone palette , where we spend a lot of time, is a waste of space in screen, 

here you can see the default info zone, next to it my infozone, reorganized according to my needs, and on the right , a proposal for that palette to minimize space, anc make it compact and less messy, 

Information zone redesignedInformation zone redesigned

here are all infozones from my working environment, i tried to keep paramaters in the same place for all tools, 

i think programmers should think about reorganizing the default WE , beacause it's not appealing, and hide a lot of tools, 

Also, for all tools, it would be better to keep the button in the same place for all of the tools, even if it(s not available ( greyed out )

Current excuse is. "There are some users that requested that…"

and like SAF/SAM no matter how many polls we make in GDCP, LinkedIn, FB, here we can't never find any.

-users love ParaMo

-users love SAF/SAM

-users love the space between Project Map and View Map

-users love the New AttMan

In terms of statistics on the points you listed above, only Graphisoft could be able to give the real figures of both satisfied and dissatisfied users.
