Ability to create 3d tekst labels that can be linked to properties, classifications etc. Ex: the contractor asked us to have the name/number of windows visible in 3d text in de ifc. We need to do it manually which is a huge waste of time

It would also save a lot of time if you could edit multiple text objects, like for instance in indesign, without having to open each one separately.
