SEO solid element operation and renovation filter

It would be helpful if a solid element operation could be set to be active only in specific renovations filters. Say - have a slab (Renovation status new) to operate on a wall (Renovation status existing) and for that operation to be effective with the Renovation filter set to New construction, but not effective when the Renovation filter is set to Existing plan - that is for the wall to show as existing in Existing plan and as altered in New construction.

The ability to apply the renovation filter on SEO operations applied to a site mesh would be huge.

But the logic might be difficult. If an element is new, then any SEO's it is involved with are obviously new. However, if an element is to be demolished, the excavation this element caused is not going to disappear. It's like the treatment of a wall when a window is to be demolished. There's a piece of the wall that is "new" in order to fill the hole that the window left.

I think the mesh element is due for a major upgrade, and it would include being able to designate SEO operations as new or existing.

Absolutely essential !

Site modifications, complex profiles, composites, doors & windows, roofs, etc. So much of ArchiCAD would benefit enormously from 'renovation filter' functionality.

Agreed that both the mesh and renovation filters are due a much needed upgrade.
