Attribute folder duplication

[ArchiMind]

Hello, community.

I was wondering how many of you would think that it would be good to have options to duplicate entire folders in the new attribute manager ?
In that sense, we could duplicate whole folders with layers, and composites, which would allow us as users to change quickly the entire folder instead of creating everything from scratch.

Cheers,

At the moment, an attribute can only belong to one folder.

So until Graphisoft allow us to have the same attribute in multiple folders, this will not be possible.

I understand what you are writing, but if it's possible that inside one folder you could duplicate the whole composite, with extension (1), I don't really see a problem to implement the same logic with folders. Right now it seems like a half-finished product. Don't get me wrong, the idea of folders is much appreciated, and I hope it would be developed further so it starts to resemble file explorer in OS.

Cheers,

Stefan

As you note - attribute folders was implemented obviously underdeveloped with the lack of hierarchical management sticking out as a sign of remarkable ignorance/shortsightedness. But if folders get properly developed I can see the use from duplication especially from linked/cloned folders. For layers it would allow for a structure with multiple buildings, systems, constructions, etc. thus somewhat alleviating the issues regarding limited control over visibility/intersectionality/editability.
