Currently properties are identified by archicad by a GUID, which is what is referenced by labels and schedules. However, in different files identical properties have different GUID, unless they are all created from the same mother-file. When using ho...

For ease of use and clarity we aim to create graphic override rules that are general and apply broadly. It would be helpful to have a "use original pen" or "use original surface" setting alongside existing options like "use pen 5" or "use surface X."...

Is there any way to set a hotkey for the "Hotlink selection settings" that appears in the right-click menu for hotlinks? I can not find it in the keyboard shortcut list. Operating system used: Windows

The linked wish seems archived but no progress has been made on this as far as I can tell. I'd like to bump this or turn it into a wish, if any admins are reading.

I think this problem stems from the fact that you can have two sets of design options in the main file and in the module file, and they might not be the same. In all the examples given now they have been but in other use cases that might not be the c...
