Organizer Palette Controls

The controls of the Organizer Palette Maps are almost identical to their counterparts in the Navigator Palette.

See Navigator Palette Controls.

A few controls are unique to the Organizer:

View Settings and Storing Options (at bottom of Project Map of Organizer)

Use these pop-up buttons to change the settings of the selected viewpoint in the Project Map. The following settings can be changed in this section:

Depending on the mode of the Organizer Palette, a button on the left-side tree structure allows you to add or copy the appropriate item (view or layout) to the right-side tree structure (view map, layout map or publishing set.)

In View Editor Mode: If a viewpoint selected in the Project map, the Save view button will create a view from the selected viewpoint and add it to the View Map.

In Layout Editor Mode: If an item is selected in the left-hand tree structure (i.e. a viewpoint from Project Map or a view from the View Map), the Place Drawing button will add the selected item to a layout in the Layout Map. Moreover, if the source of the Drawing is a viewpoint, a view is also created and added to the View Map at the same time.

In Publisher Mode: If an item is selected in the left-hand tree structure (i.e. a view from View Map or a Layout from the Layout Map), the Add Shortcut button will create a corresponding, linked publisher item in the Publisher Set at right.

Note: If you select a Subset from the Layout Book, or a folder from the View Map, the Add Shortcut button will create a shortcut linking the selected Subset or folder to a corresponding folder in the Publisher Set at the right. In contrast, if you drag and drop a Subset or View Map folder into the Publishing Set, a folder is created, but it is not linked and does not follow any subsequent modifications to the Subset/folder.

If you have the same map shown on both sides of the Organizer Palette, the Copy Shortcut button will duplicate the selected item on both sides (since both trees represent a single identical map).

It is possible to display an external ArchiCAD project’s tree structure in the Organizer and copy any of its views or Layouts into the active project.

See External Projects in the Navigator.
