The way it currently works, is that even if I hide the Operators the Operation is still visible.
It would be extremely useful when you don't want the operation to be visible if the operator is not visible.
For example: I have an existent terrain mesh that I want to do some temporary excavation. I simply create morphs with the needed geometry and do a SEO with a linked Operators and Operation. So if I hide the morph, it will also hide the operation.
Or perhaps I am missing something very obvious.
Thanks for your input Miha_M.
My point here is that I think we shouldn't have to multiply an existing terrain mesh and edit it with an excavation just to document the process. Too many SEO operations with too many duplicated geometries just to represent Existent/Demolished/Constructed. Imagine if we need to apply a phasing sequence to this process.
With the proposed Link/Unlink Operators and Operation, I could model only the geometry of the excavation, consequently being able to quantify and correctly represent/document the Existent/Demolished/Constructed. I think this is the correct "as built" methodology. This feature, with my proposed Model Filter View Option, could allow us to have total and easy control of all the aspects of project documentation.
Does this makes sense?
Edit: Forgot to say, that in the example I gave, the "excavation" morph would be created from an "Air" Building Material. So it wouldn´t be visible while the SEO was acting.

Nothing to thank for here, we are all trying to make Archicad even better.
My goal is to utilize the SEO operations to easily pull data from the model.
Here is a single mesh with Add and a Subtraction operations.
The operators are hided by layer.
Note that the geometry of the Original Terrain maintain the operations even with the operators hided.
If I pull the NetVolume and GrossVolume of the mesh, they will reflect these operations.
The geometry of the Infill and the Excavation are much more simple than copying and editing the original mesh. Not to mention that it would add a lot more polygon to the file.
If we could control the SEO operations weather it is an Existent/Demolished or a Simple Existing View would make not only the modeling easy, but also the extraction of quantities.
To refine this feature (And this would be the cherry on top of the cake) there could be 2 new Global parameters to extract from an element, namely: AddedVolume and SubtractedVolume.
Yes. The whish may seem a little sketchy compared with the current workflow that is been used for ages.
I really think this would be a good improvement for the SEO tool and the whole workflow. Probably I am wrong.
Anyway... I will keep the whish here for the posterity and see if it will survive.

Still looking?
