I will dream and daydream again!
And here I see how conveniently I can change the Z of mesh point in section view and elevation view.
Oh, it's a pity that it's just a dream...

Currently it is possible to edit the extrusion profile in sections(and elevations) giving a good view of the profile in relation to the rest of the model. It is however not possible to create a new extrusion in sections which often, unless we happen to already have a shell to copy, means having to leaving the section/elevation to create it in 3D (find a relevant view, define the profile plane, draw an approximate profile and extrude) just to get back to the section and edit. 

It should be possible to create new shell extrusion directly in sections similar to how it is in plans.

The extrusion vector length of a shell is a basic and well defined property that should be available as parameter making it possible to set it numerically.

The extrusion function of the shell tool is very powerful and intuitive when modelling geometries but it is limited by the shell focus of the tool.

If it for closed curve profiles was possible to set structure to solid so that instead of extruding a shell with thickness it extruded the closed curve as a solid geometry it would open up for even more uses.

The effect of this can currently be emulated by oversetting the thickness relative to the profile geometry but it tend to produce some geometric artefacts outside the profile and when modifying the profile one also has to make sure that the thickness is correct. Then there's conceptual issue with actually not being a shell with thickness but a solid.

I would like that Graphisoft incorporate Graph Diagrams to Archicad, that is visually similar to those in Node-Red for project administration in general and specifically for elements attributes, and IFC Project Manager (other aspects would be nice to have).

The reason is quiet simple, if it is visually and programmatically applied correctly by application software designers, it would make project administration a lot easier instead of depending solely on textual data, besides more and more people are getting more accustomed to the use of similar visualizations for data administration in general

Structural Partial Display right now and in combination of MVO are used to set Lod and/or Lodi for Archicad's Elements, and although it works right now with some organization and work arounds. The process is not efficient.

I would like to see a more direct way that we can custom create our Lod(s) of Lodi(s) and associate them to the project's elements

Hey,

in theory edit mode of complex tools like stairs and curtain walls is extremely powerful. In practice, however, this potential is not fully exploited.

So Make Edit Mode available for many more (all) tools and drastically expand its functionality

For Example:

Profiles:

"Editing a Profile in a separat Window without the possibility of a trace...Realising that the Modifiers are not so great as they should be.....NOOOO"

- Just open the placed Profile in edit Mode and change it directly in the View you are in!!

- convert anything you have drawn into a complex profile just with a click

- add formula based modifiers

- create advanced dependencies to other elements

Walls:

"Annoyed by the last Century solution of Building material priority based modelling, forcing you to create the 7th Insulation Material just for proper connection?"

- Change the connections of  wall skins graphically in edit mode

- change the wall to a sloped wall if you desire

- Create Wall segments without splitting it to peaces ....yeah in edit mode

- Alter every skin to your liking in guess what...edit mode

- add formula based modifiers

Morphs

"Tired of the lack of sophisicated modelling capabilites of the polymodelling old morph?"

- Use Parametric Modelling capabilities inside the edit mode

- Create Voids Forms Sweeps etc with history.

- Convert your Morphs to Nurbs

- add formula based modifiers

Doors and Windows

"Doors and Windows....common. Make a better Door and Window Tool finally. I AM GETTING OLD NOW!!!!"

- Edit Doors and Windows graphically like the curtain wall tool

could go there forever and it works with every tool, but I leave the rest to imagination.....

It would be great to increase the .LCF File Format size limit to allow a large point cloud file import beyond 4GB file size. 

Thank You

If an opening is created from a selected element (e.g. MEP duct, pipe, or a cable tray) it should change as the parent element is changed. Resized, moved, deleted...

... manual corrections are very time consuming and very prone to errors.

Using this preview of AC28, I couldn't see any improvement regardless of the Wall tool. It is the same probably since the first AC version. I don't know what is happening in Graphisoft and why these things are still the same, but as for the Columns, Beams, Stairs, Curtain Walls, and Rails. We would like to have an updated tool for Walls:

Walls:

1. Segments – where we can apply different composites, thicknesses, and gradual reduction of the thickness
2. Sloping – one of the wall ends is lower than the first one, so we don't need to trigger any window or cut option/opening. Those are basic shapes.

Best regards,

Please provide a method to edit/control the style of the slab edges.

With the complex profiles, for example.

The performance of section and elevation views is extremely bad (slow), especially with shadows turned on and ('many') objects used.

It should match the performance of the floorplan display or the 3D window.

Especially the very slow update of these views on layouts kills all submission deadlines.

Different Transparencies in 3D views and sections/elevations based on building materials (or surfaces). Not just on / off.

Especially in non-shaded modes.

The option for transparency override of defined elements.

EVERY CAD/BIM/3D software has this essential feature - why doesn't ArchiCAD?
There was a discussion in one of the beta tests years ago about enabling this, at least based on favorites (if you change a favorite, all placed "instances" of this favorite will be updated, too. Of course, there should be options to exclude (override) defined elements.
