In Archicad you normally use the Layouts to place drawings coming from your model, and those drawings are showing “Views”, which are a saved version of a viewpoint from model space. E.g. a clipping plane in Rhino could be considered a viewpoint, which can show your model a gazillion ways based on the required scale, colours – maybe some objects (or object types) are hidden. Archicad does hiding objects by saving “layer combinations”, Revit does a similar thing in a more structured way by defining Visibility & Graphic overrides.
This is why Archicad has “Views” as an intermediate step between the model space and layout space.
Something similar to “View options” in Archicad would be nice, yes. There could be other parameters too, e.g. you would want to display the same model at a scale of 1:200 without detailed hatches, etc. and show a 1:20 drawing from the same model cut at the same plane. Maybe it needs its own interface.
This thread got completely lost as well, although it’s quite important imo:
