Fill Handle available even when element not selected

NateLumen

Here's the Problem: Fills are significant architectural elements, whether fills, cover fills or what have you. They often represent tile, ceiling grids or stonework. The placement of the fill is therefore significant as well. I would love to be able to place other elements relative to the content of the fill or cover fill (think of a light fixture needing to be relative to an ACT ceiling grid). The fill handle sets the origin of the fill (the reference point), but...the fill handle is not selectable unless the fill or element with a cover fill is selected. Sure we could use work arounds, but...

 

What about a solution: Make the fill handle available (as though over any other kind of node) even when the element isn't selected.

 

I have a lot to say about cover fills this week. Thanks for your time. Let's keep boosting each other's wishes and make Archicad the best it can be.

It could be useful to enable display of the fill handles the same way the display of real line thickness, roof guide lines, reference lines and so on, an on-screen display option.

 

One might say that even display and print option could be useful for fill handles, since they can govern the point from which tiling starts and is a useful information for plans.
