So, this is perhaps a bump from previous topics but the full functionality has not yet been solved. My wish is for spreadsheet style calculations in Schedules.   As a simple example: A big residential project - with a number of different apartment types (1 bed, 2 bed, 3 bed etc.) which is of course a part of a total number of apartments. Currently we cannot list these apartments and have the schedule display their repective percentages in relation to the total. This would be extremely beneficial to general project management and how and what we can deliver to clients. ... View more

FINALLY be able to independently edit the layers of a composite wall/slab/roof: - to be able to give it a different status: to be demolished/created... - to be able to edit it in 3d so that each layer has its own dimension (length, width, height, or even different shape) - to be able to display or not a layer in plan/section/3d... - and many other things that reflect the way a building is constructed! THANKS ! ... View more

Whenever I model terrain, I dream of an additional feature that would be useful, e.g. for convenient cutting of roads, various surfaces (etc.) in the terrain mesh, so that it would then also be visible in cross-sections (e.g. by using SEO operations). This is a mesh of a given thickness:  ... View more

You have a list of zones in a schedule and at the bottom you have a total sum of the zone areas. It would great if you could define that sum as a new expression based property and use it eg. in different schedule. Like in Excel.  ... View more

How wonderful will be to be able to control the attributes the same way we can control the libraries.  A centralize attribute manager that could be refreshed the same way we do the library manager. So all attributes are in sync between all the files of the same project that are interconnected. Eg. The base building file, the fitout file and the wet area file, that must have the same attributes with matching names and ID's to avoid the nightmare of duplications. In concept something like this... and No more publishing and updating of hotlinks required 🙂  Same principle could apply to properties and classifications which can also be duplicated if are mismanaged.   ...

I am writing to propose an enhancement that I believe would greatly benefit the Archicad community: the introduction of a "FADE DISTANT ELEMENTS" feature in interior elevations. Currently, both the Elevation and Section markers have this functionality, and it has proven to be an invaluable tool for many users. This feature allows for a clearer and more professional presentation by fading out elements that are further away from the viewer, thereby enhancing the focus on the primary elements of interest. However, this same functionality is absent from the Interior Elevation marker settings. This omission seems puzzling, especially considering the frequent requests from users over the years for its inclusion. The addition of the "FADE DISTANT ELEMENTS" option in interior elevations would provide;   Enhanced Visual Clarity; which is crucial for interior design presentations and detailed drawings. Consistent Presentation: With this feature available across all Section drawing types, users can maintain a consistent look and feel in their projects, improving the overall coherence and professionalism of their work. Given the apparent benefits and the community's long-standing request for this feature, I strongly urge the Graphisoft development team to consider its implementation in future releases of Archicad. This enhancement would undoubtedly be a valuable addition, elevating the user experience and output quality for all interior elevation work. ... View more

As building energy standards become more demanding, we need design tools that allow these to be considered early. At least in the UK, Passivhaus and PHPP are regarded as being one of the most robust and longstanding. However it is still a struggle to get solid transfer of data to PHPP to allow it to be used as a 'live' design tool. Some kind of 'Live Connection' such as with Grasshopper, would allow the technical performance and design to be combined more seamlessly. PHPP is recognised as a 'gold standard' tool in many markets, so it would make sense to support it as we move to more demanding climatic conditions (design for shading/solar gain etc) and stringent energy standards where early design decisions are making more difference.  ...

More options for design of windows. Infinite combinations of portions and openings. If I want to have 3 sliders, with top hung window over and a bottom fixed transom and a sidelight, I should be able to do it.  No need for a million types of windows, just make the "variable" window FULLY variable so I can add as many parts I want with whatever openings I want. ...

Just like other modeling software, and even Archicad's biggest competitor, I really miss being able to work with multiple windows—floor plan, section, and 3D—open simultaneously, updating in real-time as changes are made. It's frustrating that I can only undock the window and position it within the Archicad environment. For project development teams, it disrupts the workflow to have to click on another window and wait for it to update just to see a simple change you made in another window. ... View more

We need a Storey Setting that considers not only the levels of the building but also allows us to manage the structural and finished level, the existing and project levels, the levels of the neighboring building, etc. In each view you can then decide to display a combination of plans, turning on and off those that are needed or not. We also need to assign properties and descriptions to every storey.  At the moment, the only way to handle different levels is by using hotlinks, but it's not very comfortable ... View more

This would save so much time, and be a lot easier than having to find the correct place in 3D, and then go back to elevation to see if the corresponding fill has moved correctly. Something similar to how a fill origin can be moved would be great, maybe than can be turned on and off in the On-Screen View Options or somewhere similar.   Thank you! Kaj ... View more
