Currently, drawings are updated either automatically or manually. Both are problematic. Automatic updating on medium to large projects wastes a lot of time, as minor edits to a layout require all the drawings to be updated. If you opened the wrong la...

Can view settings include the sun position settings. Rather than opening the view, editing the date & time and redefining the view. It would be much easier to edit and verify the settings are correct if they were shown in the view settings.

It would be good if the original design option was shown when hovering over an element. We are starting to use design options in combination with the iceberg method more. Coming on to a project and finding your way back to the source element can be t...
