Hi Stefan
I don't see a viable way to implement render layers for ArchiCAD at the moment. The problem is....how do you assign an ArchiCAD scene element to a layer? You could put all the walls on one layer, doors on another, windows on another, etc, but I doubt that would be much use. Assigning AC layers to Octane layers is a problem, because the plugin would need to parse the entire scene geometry for every AC layer - which would substantially slow load time. At the moment all AC geometry is loaded into a single Octane Mesh node - so it's all assigned to a single Octane layer.
I would welcome any suggestion you have on this...
