Display "varies" for a property when multiple selected objects have different values assigned to it

ArchiProject
Booster

When multiple objects with different properties (such as height, pen, layer, etc.) are selected, Archicad displays the properties of one of the selected objects (usually the last created it seems). If you want to change a property for all selected objects at once, you are forced to manually enter a value different from the ones shown; otherwise, Archicad won’t apply the change to all of them.

I therefore suggest taking inspiration from AutoCAD, where a multiple selection of objects shows the label "varies" for properties that differ, allowing users to apply a any new value to all selected elements at once. This would also help better identify when there are elements in the selection that differ from the others.

Thanks

I totally agree with the display of "Varies" in any field that does in fact vary between selected elements. As a firm we all just discovered "Edit Selection Set...", but even that new (to us) tool is very limited in which parameters/properties can be changed simultaneously, nor does it display each property/layer/etc. that varies between the selected elements.
