Models in VERIFY PARTS

With many Models in a file it would help a lot if you could filter what is in a separate Model. Verify Parts is very useful tool and simple to use. Really a prototype for how tools should be.

Place Wall by Space / Shape - Segment option

It would be good to include this option. Its very rare that all sides of the space or room will have the same wall type. The user ends up having to delete or mod most of the walls or even worse not using the tool at all. With this option, the OBD ...

Multi-catalog search in Placement Panel

Add new search option in Catalog Item Selector that lets you search for any catalog item in your loaded libraries, regardless of element type selected at the top of the dialog. A single search for "wood" might return doors, walls, and a couple tab...
