VA3 - Styles do not update copy-pasting between files

Hi @fsalla,
here’s a minor, but major issue that affects the working process in multifile projects.

When using the same style (here a beam style) in several files, the update of the said style does not happen automatically through copy-paste. I would expect it to work similarly to blocks - user prompt when copying from file to file. Currently, if a style is updated, it needs to be updated on ALL files it is used in.

Also copying an updated style to a file, which already has a same named style present, creates a situation visible in the video. Two versions of the same style. This I would call a bug.

Hi @Toni_Osterlund excuse the late reply on this issue. You are right, this is an error. With the current behavior, the second copied beam should take a different name for its style. Ideally, we should do like Rhino blocks: ask the user what to do:

  • Keep the original style
  • Replace the existing style with the copied one
  • Keep both, but renaming the copied style

This would be expected, and desired behaviour.
