Stories, types and layers
Objects are filed in collections by story, then by element type. Story collections carry Archicad's own number and name, such as "0. Ground Floor". Type collections carry the story name too, such as "Ground Floor · Wall", because Blender collection names are global.
The Archicad layer is kept as a custom property and drives a hidden BY LAYER mirror collection under a hidden MIRRORS collection, so you can select by layer without changing the primary tree.
