MEP Elements 2D / 3D Preview on Schedules

As part of the awesome features of Archicad is the way to extract or show native 2D / 3D previews for each elements on Schedules. 
Since Archicad 27, MEP elements aren't capable to show this previews. Instead you get a blank cell. This is sad.
Why loosing an awesome feature with a "hopefully. near future" awesome MEP Modeler?

This is important due to:

 

  1. Gives to the viewer, designer, reviser and client the capability to know wich element is beign extracted
  2. Gives the designer to take notes over the preview 2D / 3D cells (as you can do on Door or Window schedules)
  3. Communication is important, so graphical communication is a distinctive of Archicad. Please mantain that.

Totally agree! The ability to view native 2D/3D previews in dialog boxes is an essential Archicad feature that should not be missed. Especially in the case of MEP elements, these previews allow everyone involved – designers, reviewers and clients – to clearly understand what elements are being used and make relevant annotations.

Graphical communication has always been one of Archicad's strengths, and maintaining this capability is crucial to ensure that the workflow is clear and efficient. Please consider reintroducing this feature in future updates along with the fixes we all asked for that were missed in this new MEP.
