Thanks much Humble and drawzilla. No, I did not know that I had to have separate ref sets from layer sets. I thought you just referenced another layer set to act as the reference set. I watched your video and then I watched DSH's anno sets for dummies no. 1. His method does seem safer as once all the ref sets are done then really, no more need to be made at all. Seems a bit daunting right now though. Joey Martin: thanks a lot for your plan. That really looks like a useful roof plan for the field. I just may do that hatching thing. I am almost all set but what is happening to me is I am getting the walls nice and gray and nice and dashed but not nice in that I am getting both floor plans worth of walls instead of just the floor below each roof. Not sure how that's supposed to be accomplished.

THANKS GUYS SO MUCH. I did watch MLRS #1 but did not really get it too well. Maybe I need to watch the whole series to figure it out. I will look for the anno sets for dummies vid. DSH: I think I see that what I am doing is referencing a layer set that I am already using as the main layers set. I have not figured out how to get other floors referenced onto the floor I am using. I tried it with my 2nd floor roof plan and got the 2nd floor walls and the 1st floor walls right below as well. Good for the one story parts but not good for the two story parts. I was reading some posts that said that I needed to try to use the display on upper floor button but could not find that. I guess I will just have to watch some more videos to fig. out how to better do the reference sets. I think what DSH is getting at is having an anno set, a ref set, and a layer set for each and every type of plan? That may be the safest way to do it? Thanks. Will let you know when I have watched more of the vids and tried to work it out. Not much time on my deadline though. Still have to do water supply riser, DWV riser, electrical riser, pan schedule, load calcs, and building sections. That's my problem.

PROBLEMS WITH REFERENCE SETS I want to show the walls and roof overhang and roof planes of the floor below and I want to show the dashed roof overhang and roof planes for the current floor but it will not display how I want it. See plan at Dropbox here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/uwdmj6h8x0cgt8l/HP%20Lot1.plan?dl=0 What am I doing wrong? Thanks.
