The Tab Bar at the top of your ARCHICAD workspace shows all of your open views/viewpoints.
The Tab Bar is visible by default. To turn it on and off, use Window > Show/Hide Tab Bar.
Note: The Tab Bar’s show/hide status is saved as part of your Work Environment.
When you open a new view or new layout, they can either replace the opened one (of the same type, in the case of views), or be opened in a separate new tab. You can change this tab-opening preference in Options > Work Environment > More Options.
Exception: You can have only one Floor Plan and one 3D window open at a time.
The Tab Bar lets you navigate easily among open ARCHICAD windows: just click on the tab of the window you want to activate. As a rule, even after you switch from one tab to another, the view/viewpoint settings on each tab remain as you left them, specific to each tab.
Note: Shortcuts and commands are available to help you transfer or match settings among tabs. See Transfer Settings Among Tabs.
