I still wish :
When copying or moving elements between Layers,
where both Layers have different Z height levels (manually assigned or by Story settings)
VW should :
a) pop a Warning
b) offer an Option Dialog
- keep Objects Delta-Z from Layer height level
- retain Objects global Z from World Height
(Maybe in a more hidden way by using CTRL key or such as an option to switch)
As it is,
it is very comfortable if you want to copy parts of your 1st Floor Wall design
into the Layer of the Layer of the 2nd Floor.
But it is not very comfortable if you e.g. accidentally drawn something on the wrong
Story's Layer, want to change its Layer and manually have to calculate the Layers
height difference to re-move the elements into Z-Position.
Or if you import an IFC or DWG and want to spread the imported Geometry over your
existing VW Story System.
