ArchiCAD: different versions of elevations

In many situations different versions of the same elevation are needed, e.g. one without shadows, one with shadows and one with colours. Since any number of views may be created from each elevation, worksheet, detail drawing etc., one would think that only one elevation would suffice and the views based on it could have different display settings. However, this is not the case. If I have sixteen elevations and I need versions with and without shadows, I need to copy the markers and, as a result, I get 32 elevations. The problem becomes worse if e.g. dimension markers have been added to the drawings; I have to manually keep up-to-date two sets of markers and other 2D elements.

ArchiCAD: parallelizing drawing generation

Why not generate more than one drawing at the same time?

ArchiCAD: vague error messages

Oh come on.

ArchiCAD: always readable text not always readable

Actually we don't write upside down in Finland.
