Options, components and architecture
Click the button marked Special 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
Check the option in the Fix area to fix the outline of architectural elements that have become corrupt. The result of this operation is displayed when you click 
Restore 3D View. The points fixed are highlighted.
Fixing corrupt component geometries
Layers + architectural components
Allow wall/slab recesses to 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.
Allow window, door openings to 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 and door openings.
Important notes on openings on independent layers
Components on hidden layers are not to interact with components on visible layers
This option prevents architectural elements in hidden layers from interacting with those in 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 When openings are entered, they get 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 disabled). When you enable this option, an opening you enter is given a higher priority than the wall in question and consequently it will ‘cut through’ the wall.
Note: This option applies when you enter or modify openings. In addition, it is also retained when you carry out Restore 3D View. Changing the wall thickness, however, causes the wall and the opening to be recalculated. In this case, a new opening is created using 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
You can use this option to specify that the section identifier is always placed so that it is 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 is only taken into consideration when you create new clipping paths.
Code entry
This is where you enter the code to enable specific programs developed on commission by Nemetschek.
Pattern 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 in the office standard.
Copy or move the relevant patterns to the region specified above (for example, to numbers 230-255; these numbers are empty by default).
