Wall layer functional priority

[laurenk]

It may be helpful to split the function (structure, substrate, finish etc) from the join priority (numbers)

Just for user clarity.. it makes more sense to consider these as separate concepts.

As is stands architects generally struggle with the concept of layer functions & join priorities. Its just not very user friendly and is quite unpredictable.

This really needs to be addressed.

Thanks for taking the time to submit your idea. Unfortunately, this idea did not get the support of the community over the last 6 months and as such we will not be pursuing it at this time. Please feel free to rework (titles and clear descriptions are really important) and resubmit this one down the road.

Dear @sasha.crotty 

I would like to bring to your attention my idea, which bears some resemblance to, but significantly differs from the idea I noticed had been added to the roadmap. Here is my idea.

Having the ability to manage priorities as a material parameter instead of a component layer would provide much more flexibility and standardization options.

I've also tagged your friendly colleague @kimberly.fuhrman : in my idea post.

Thank you for taking the time to read this message.
