Auto-change Story DL prefix in dialog

[VincentCuclair]

This is rather frustrating:

When I make a change in an existing Story that includes changing the Story Design Layer prefix the changes are not reflected directly to the existing DLs in that Story....why...I first need to remove the DLs for this to work (losing all existing objects in it!) or Change the DL names after the fact...which is kind of contrary to the whole edit Story concept right?

Not exactly, this info is used for new design layer, so they are just defaults. Although I also think it would be better if it is linked, but I think it will be very hard to implement...

Storeys needs a rethink. The current protocol is too cumbersome and too confusing.

Definitely, they all need to be linked up, that's the point; change one place and it changes all affected linked layers & storeys = less manual re-work. Even on small residential this is useful.

Hopefully adding some weight to the discussed for the gazing eye's at NNA.

So true. The design layers should not be needed for story levels, that alone will clarify so much....

I just came from a customer and today it was about the storeys etc. People just don't get it as it is too complicated. It takes too much time to be able to work with it in a flexible way.
