Issue Description
Element IDs might be assigned automatically or manually, leading to discrepancies. If new elements are added after IDs are assigned, they may not follow the existing sequence.
Solution
Archicad provides a way to automate this process through its Work Environment Settings. By enabling this option, the software will assign unique Element IDs to new elements as they are placed. Here's how to activate this feature:
Navigate to Options > Work Environment > More Options
In the More Options settings, enable the checkbox for Assign New Element ID to Each New Element.
Once this setting is enabled, Archicad will automatically assign a new Element ID to every element placed during your workflow, saving time and reducing errors caused by duplicate IDs.
Unique Element IDs are critical in maintaining an organized model, especially for documentation and collaboration. Enabling this feature ensures efficiency and reduces the risk of oversight when dealing with numerous elements in a project.
