Skew command

Fairly often I would like to be able to stretch things while translating the stretched end to one side, or just skew a selection of elements without changing dimensions (mostly in 2D) This applies particularly when drawing details from sections cut a...

Show section marker depth when selected

I wish section markers showed their depth and distant depth when selected, maybe as a ghost with their handles. Pretty much like text shows the handles when selected, even if it is not set to display the box. Having 'working' View Sets with textboxes...

Importing Details

I think it would be fantastic to be able to merge details from one project into another. In fact, I think archicad users should be able to have a file just with details that can be utilized and imported into any project. If there is any way to actual...
