Clone Folders - Allow selection of which stories/ elevations/ details etc. show.

I'm a big fan of clone folders as a way to ensure view settings cascade, are consistent and can be easily updated when necessary.  However, having them always clone EVERY one of the stories/ elevations/ details leads to a lot of navigator clutter, and the need to expand/ collapse/ scroll through needlessly long lists of views that I don't actually need.

 

Often, I will want some of my details to be 1:5, some 1:10 for instance.  Having to have views of all details set up at both scales but then know which is supposed to be viewed at which scale feels cumbersome.

 

I'm also a fan of the 'iceberg method' to avoid the complications around attribute management, variations in storey height and so on in multi-block schemes.  Being able to be selective about which subset of stories show in a particular view set would help keep the navigator much easier to work with.

 

I'd like to have a list of all the available viewpoints in the clone folder settings dialogue, with a simple check box system to be able to define which of those actually then show within that clone folder in the navigator.  Newly created view points would still become available and could be added into (or excluded from) the cloned folder.

There is a related item on the Product Roadmap about the Project Map, currently In Progress. It will introduce folders within Project Map Viewpoint types. Hopefully, it will also mean that this wish is fulfilled as well. Fingers crossed:

Thanks Lazlo, I do hope so, though it doesn't mention clone folders specifically.

If it doesn't work with clone folders, then it's completely missing the point. I think it will work exactly like that. I also hope that it would allow automatic IDs follow a certain set of rules as the layouts do, considering parents / children (subsets nad layouts in subsets and layout numbering / IDs)
