The wish is for a view's orientation to be accessible in the view settings, project index and in GDL for drawing titles. Being visible in the view settings would allow multiple views to be edited simultaneously. A lot of our standard plan views are set up in the template. Wh...

'Release All' should revoke previous requests by the user. The current system allows staff to have elements reserved even though they have released all and closed Archicad. Example Scenario: A has the layer settings reserved. B requests the layer settings, but gets no respon...

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 layout, too bad. You have t...

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.

Can elevations & sections respond to the date & time saved in the view settings. Currently elevations & sections settings allow the sun to be set by the 3D date & time. The altitude and azimuth (with East being 0˚ - this will be important later) is shown greyed out. However ...

Greater access to more data fields always gets a vote. I don't know how many times I've tried setting up a Schedule, Find & Select or creating a label object and been unable to access particular data fields.

This is a blast from the past. Back in 2012, I attempted to create a title block that included the North Point. The problem was View Orientations. As far as I can tell, there's no way for the Drawing Title object to request the view orientation of the view it is displaying. ...

Thank you for sharing this. I agree it is much better to remove the middleman and classify things according to what they will be exported as. Removes all confusion. Another couple of issues it removes are; confusion between Archicad Classification - v 2.0 and v 20. Most UI v...

It's unfortunate that this has to be on the table, but it pays to be prepared. My only question would be which format do you think would be best? Should the files download as native files .e.g .pln .mod .ifc etc. Any changes not sent through would be lost (hardly the biggest...

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 tricky, especially if desi...
