Saving and loading favorites of parameter settings

You can define frequently used parameter settings as favorites in almost all palettes and dialog boxes. You can store these favorites in a component-specific library. This is especially useful if you are working in a team. The use of favorites not only means that they are readily available, but also reduces the risk of errors.

For example, you can save walls, doors, windows, dimension lines or light settings as favorites. All you need to do is click Save as a favorite at bottom left in the palette or in the Properties dialog box. The example below shows the Properties dialog box for a slab opening.

Note: The layer currently set is also saved. When you retrieve favorite files later, this layer is automatically set as the current layer.

Using Save as a favorite, you can save the complete set of parameter settings as a favorite file. Favorite files are given element-specific or component-specific filename extensions.

Using Load favorite, you can retrieve favorite files.
