Imagine, you have to constantly return to your entrance lobby in order to access any any any other spaces of your house ???
This is what Archicad forces you to do.
Unlike Revit, where , example, you can modify material, apparence etc, without having to exit the wall setting; in archicad, you have to go back to the main menu to do any foundational setting such as complex profile, material, etc.
We are in a mansion, and the only way to circulate between spaces is to walk back to the entrance lobby.
Odd design any user of this house would say (and soon they would hammer down some walls!).
And as users of archicad, we are forced to live with such oddity.
Good luck
