Changes in Element Classification

The former default element classification of “ARCHICAD Type”, assigned to model elements in the Tags and Categories panel of Element Settings, has been eliminated.

When you migrate an older-version project to AC20, each element having the classification “ARCHICAD Type” is assigned a default Element Classification instead, corresponding to the tool type (e.g. “Wall”).

This more specific default Classification is used not only in IFC-based model exchange, but also in setting the availability of Element Properties for particular element types.

Find & Select Criteria Sets no longer include “ARCHICAD Type” as a criteria.
