Yes, that was what I was looking for. Not sure why I didnt see it when I was looking. Thank You

Yes, it worked very easy to copy from one plan to the other. Thank you for your help.

I was thinking of that after I sent out the my question. I thought if I copy and past it to hold in place from my Asbuilt to my New Plan. Wasnt sure if that would work. Wont hurt to try it.

I would like to change the existing roof of this house to a higher pitch and make it a gable without it affecting the lattice cover roof plane that I created. What would be the best way to do this? I would typically delete the main house roof plane and rebuild manually because I know the automatic roof plane would wipe out the old. Is there a way to protect the lattice cover and still use the automatic roof planes?

Im thinking the plan file im looking for is just not there. I found layout files but the plan files that were attached I cant find anywhere in my computer. Not sure how plan files got deleted but the layout files are still there.

Hello Guy's and Gal's, If I know that one of my drawings were drawn in Version X4 and I know longer have it installed in my computer, would I not be able to see the file at all? Would I have to reinstall X4, for the file to even appear? I hope what im saying make sence.

I give credit to "Rabbitt Design" for helping me to understand the project manager. He is brilliant!

I hope this makes sense. I love this new project manager and I’m excited to talk about it. Not sure what your needs are but when you select make a copy it goes in the project folder that you are currently working on and then you can re-name it. This is good If you have several different designs you are working with. Let’s say in this case New Plan 1 is connected to your layout. If you want to use New Plan 3 instead, you right click on New Plan 1 and you select "Replace With" and then you choose New Plan 3 and it will take the place of New Plan 1. Very Simple Also, if you start your project with a new plan file, once you complete the As-Built (before you start the remodel) you right click your as-built plan and select "Replace With" to connect your plan to your layout file. My new project template has the Layout Plan, As-Built Plan and New plan that are already setup and linked to work together. I dont save as a template I just save it as a new project as per below.

Thanks for the help guy's, I got everyting to work the way I wanted it and its correct in the working drawings (which is a plus). I just have to trim everything out now and that is the easy part. On the inside I changed all the invisible walls to door openings and that seems to work better. Base molding by the stairs need work but is not important for this job. First floor these are three separate rooms. Number 3 being on the first floor helped with keeping the stucco to show on the outside On the second floor I put a wall here with a door opening instead of an invisible wall and so I was able to lower this down to the landing height There is a couple of gaps that need to be fixed on this one but again it wont matter for this job so I will leave it. Not sure whats casuing it.

I apologies, Your right. Thank you!

Thank you guy's, Im working on this today and the input from all of you is very helpful and have givven me direction. Thank you, I know you put time into this for me it is very much appreciated. I will update you with my final result.

I didnt use a landing. Maybe that was my first mistake

There is no post. It’s a cantilever

Your second photo is the correct one.

Wow, I’m surprised this got 103 views with no response. I’m guessing because this is not easy to do. I’m thinking even with the most skilled person in Chief this would have to take a little time to build this area out with the stairwell and get all the finishes right. I get it, there is a lot going on here and it’s a challenge to anyone.
