Dear Hans, thank you for your answer, but it doesnt solve the issue. (or I dont understand what you mean) the argument in the macro is acually (not in the MWE) a xtable filled with \externalfigures. so I would like to avoid floats as it makes things more complicated and slower. I tried finding the \page[disable] definition in the code but could not find it. any further suggestions how I can solve this issue? thanks Michael

I have a doublesided layout. On the right side i place the text, figures (if i have any) go on the left side. the MWE below works quite nice.
But if i want the figure to be full height, two pages are skipped. This is becaus the hbox right below of the figure. I think it is placed during the \page[disable] pass.
What can I do to avoid this hbox?
\def\Figure#1{\placefigure[location={page,none}]{}{#1}}
Thanks Michael
