PDF Layers-ArchiCAD

MacBook Pro: OS 10.9.5

Is it possible to create PDFs with layers? The option box is greyed out in the publishing PDF options.

ArchiCAD 18.

You can publish individual views (or clone folders) with layers, but not layouts.

Probably not what you are looking for, though.

ArchiCAD 19 will have a new feature:

http://www.graphisoft.com/archicad/archicad/feature-comparison/

It is called Publish to PDF with WYSIWYG Layers from Layout in the comparison table.

The way it will work is in Publisher Sets you select PDF as output and when you click Document Options, then PDF Options, you will have at the bottom of the Dialog an Export Layers to PDF checkbox which will achieve that.
