How about ABS configurations that can take into account the changes made by the architect to his display configurations, and then screen back the AEC entities while incorporating those changes.
As an example, an architect imposed a color BYMATERIAL on a concrete wall. Showed up great with his display config, but disappeared with the ABS display config. And then I have to explain why my background doesn't match the architect's drawing.
