Jacek

As listed in the CD forum; I would like to be able to save a PMK file/print/publish with a ghost story showing -if chosen so.
Any other takers?

Jacek,

...I would prefer to handle each on their own, and agree with Matthew. But, to each his own, of course!
Djordje,
I can see benefits of using each method to achieve different results, all valid.
That is why I would like to have the choice to export/publish w/ a Ghost Story. To prove my point just look at the poll above
Thanks for all the suggestions to you all,

Jacek

Ghost Story is easier. Superimposed plans is more powerful. Choice is good. I vote yes.

I cannot seem to change the colors of the underlaid ghost story. I have tried to change drawing pens and layout pens with no change in the color on my screen. Am I missing a trick??

Yes you are. Open Story Settings box, click on Options and you will be presented with a Color Wheel with a sliding Intensity/Saturation selecto, adjust until satisfied..

Close the window and view your new Ghost Story

Cannot change the Ghost in ArchiCAD, or cannot change pens and colors of a plced drawing in PlotMaker?

If the first, Jacek answered.

If the second, make sure that your Attribute Update Rules (Right click, Drawing settings) are set to Custom for this drawing, and change away ...

HTH,
Djordje
