Layers and classifications serve a similar purpose, with layers being the older CAD-era paradigm and classification the newer, standard BIM way. It is somewhat of a nuisance that we still need to fill in and update both. For many long-term Archicad u...

Tags could be a nice additional way to organize and control the visibility of stuff. But we still also need proper (IFC) classification to ensure the exported IFC models can be reliably machine-read and used for further analysis, calculations, facili...

With the realities of software development, you're probably right. But one can always wish!Regarding 2D graphics and annotations, I suppose these could be also included in the Archicad classification that would replace layers. IFC actually supports 2...
