Options, components and architecture
Click the Special button to make advanced settings for modules in the Architecture family.
These options also include special settings (e.g. for special customer-specific developments), which are not documented.
Fix
Select the Fix option to fix the outline of architectural elements that have become corrupt. You will see the result when you click 
Restore 3D View. Allplan marks the places it has fixed.
Fixing corrupt component geometries
Layers + architectural components
Wall recesses, slab recesses can be be placed on independent layer
Normally, openings like recesses in walls and slabs get the same layer as the element into which they are inserted. You can use this option to specify whether a separate, independent layer can be assigned to recesses in walls and slabs.
Window openings, door openings can be placed on independent layer
Normally, openings like windows and doors get the same layer as the wall into which they are inserted. You can use this option to specify whether a separate, independent layer can be assigned to window openings and door openings.
Important notes on openings on independent layers
Components on hidden layers do not interact with components on visible layers
This option prevents architectural elements on hidden layers from interacting with those on visible layers.
Wall dimensioning
This option prevents associative wall dimensions from updating automatically.
Opening + hole in wall
Walls with a higher priority rating cut through walls with a lower priority rating at the points where walls intersect or at T-shaped wall junctions. If the walls have the same priority, the second wall cuts through the wall you entered first.
You can use the Openings entered are given a higher priority than wall recesses option to specify how openings behave (e.g. near T-shaped wall junctions): if a wall is intersected by another wall, inserting an opening in the intersected wall makes a ”hole” within the opening. This is the default setting (option not selected). When you select this option, an opening you enter is given a higher priority than the wall in question; consequently, it will ‘cut through’ the wall.
Note: This option applies when you enter or modify openings or use Restore 3D View. But when you change the wall thickness, Allplan will recalculate the wall and the opening. In this case, Allplan will create a new opening in accordance with the current setting of this option. To ensure that modifications you make do not cause unexpected effects, you should not change the setting of this option while you are working on a project.
Example of 'Opening + hole in wall' option
Label for clipping path
This option places the section identifier so that it is always horizontal and opposite the section direction. This setting is in accordance with the Russian GOST standard
Note: This option only applies to the current project. Existing section identifiers do not change. This option applies only when you create new clipping paths.
Code entry
This is where you enter the code to enable specific programs developed on commission by Allplan GmbH.
Patterns in walls
This is where you define a region within which patterns in walls retain their direction, height and width defined. Patterns then behave like hatching: they are displayed as continuous patterns even in corners and when walls intersect.
The setting (from number / to number) is saved to the office standard.
Copy or move the relevant patterns to numbers between 230 and 255; these numbers are empty by default).
