What an edit costs
What You Do In Archicad | What Goes Over The Wire |
|---|---|
Move an element | A transform update: position and metadata. No mesh. |
Change an element's shape | That element's mesh |
Rename, change story or layer | A transform update with the new metadata |
Delete an element, or hide its layer | A remove message |
Edit a surface | The materials of the pass, and a re-check of the whole model |
Switch layer combination | A full sync with the new scope. Unchanged elements are listed by ID, not resent. |
Change nothing | Nothing |
Textures are anchored in world space, so a moved textured element is sent as a mesh again.
