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...

It would be great if Project Info (with custom fields) and Location Settings (including the new Survey Point coordinates and Project North) would be available for custom ifc property mapping. In Finland, new legislation for applying building permit e...

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...

Yes, there should still be a default classification and ifc type mapping for it coming with the generic template, and localised versions could have ones based on the national standard if one exists. These can then serve as a base for customized versi...

PS. Revit doesn't allow creating custom classification systems at all unlike Archicad and I agree we don't want such unflexibility in Archicad. With this proposed change, Archicad would have yet another area where it is on par, but more flexible and ...
