Afternoon! I am a new Softplan user and have learned a ton from the forums - so thanks for all your input!
I see that a lot of you have highly personally configured setups - from what I can tell SP seems to work best if those configurations are set at the system level before a project is started - and then applied when you open a new project.
I have been try to configure as I learn - so I am within a project and trying to save my configurations as globally as possible. The problem I keep running into is after a certain number of changes it seems like SP gets tired of making the changes - so for instance, today I was customizing the colors of the Area options - I made 5-6 changes to names and colors and it worked/saved fine. After that it would - seemingly arbitrarily - change back certain colors back to the default colors. Last night I was trying to customize walls - I was just wanting to change how the walls look in floor plan view - not materially change it's elements. I made a lot of changes that seemed to work fine, and then it would sometimes not save my changes and other times revert back to default system settings.
I was interested to know - from those of you with highly configured setups - what is the best way to get those set up when you are starting from scratch? What is the best way to just "do it once" when your getting pens, colors, plansets, layers and so on - setup from zero? As you guys make changes (esp. changes that you would prefer be global) are there certain ways that you implement those changes so that it gets input in the correct "spot" and doesn't just revert back to default?
Appreciate your help!
