3D Rotation

I hope, that Graphisoft finally will add 3D Rotation function Tool, and that will work with any object.

And a way to see where the pivot axis is positioned under a marquee selection, specially when working in axonometric 3d views

I am sure you can understand the huge amount of furious disbelief I experienced when I discovered ArchiCAD could not rotate any object around the x or y axies. Why this wasn't added in say version 5 or 6 is beyond me.
3d reference planes and the ability to turn off the selection magnet in the 3d window would go hand in hand with this feature.

Am I the one who bothered to vote? C'mon folks! Don't forget to vote!

and it is reasonably priced...

I vote too, I can see some problems with that technically though, than we have trouble with 2d views if we can rotate anything like we want to and a slab in reality is a slab, not a roof or wall. But maybe you should have a 3d rotation on all objects (wall, slab, object...) but if you rotate any object, it has some function that convert it to an Complext Object.

Say : You build an complex windowwall with slabtool and beams. You mark all this objects and choose : convert to complex object and then it convert it to an GDL object but with the different that you could rotate it in xyz-plane? And the 2d representation you could choose between views like complex hide lines or outer contour.

And, why not than have a possibility to save this GDL code directly in your .pln file?

And why not go further? Why not have the ability to set ID like Mat1:Frame, Mat2:Glass and when you have converted your object, then in parameterlist for that complext object you have your rotating choise, and also parameters for Frame material and Glass material ?

What do you think about that?

Hmmmm...tough one...
I agree on XYZ rotation on dumb objects but on construction elements I would be very nervous...
Using the ID for materials (or a similar work around) would be cool for the extremely small number of users making their own GDL-objects. This should be a separate wish. I would in that case like a dedicated GDL editor where you could just point on the things you model to set simple parameters like material. The GDL editor/viewer would be a free stand-alone thing in my mind.

Dooh, that's why I want those rotated object to be a new kind of Complex Object. A rotated wall or slab isn't a wall or slab after rotation, it's a complex object.
