Quick tip

Here is a tip that I probably do not use enough but is very powerful.

 

Example:  The other day someone asked how to show the same   window on TWO LEVELS of the floor plan. You need two windows.  Put the  first  window in using FINISH FLOOR HEIGHT,  make sure you like location,  now open the window DBX and change to ABSOLUTE HEIGHT,  you can now copy that window ,  paste on the other LEVEL,  now if you  look at a  3D view,  you  should see only one window (good),  and if you look at the floor plans,  you should see a window on each level (good).

 

You can use this for many situations,  think about wanting to show a light in a stairwell  on two levels.....  

 

This is a very powerful feature.

 

OOPS,  this is not available for electrical symbols.  It should be.

Are you using transform/replicate in performing this operation?

 

Hi Curt,

 

No,  I am copying,  go to next floor and paste in place......  as long as the door/window is  defined by ABSOLUTE ELEVATION when copied...  it should work

How do you get to the "absolute elevation" part?  There's probably an easy answer I am totally oblivious to this a.m. ... I switched to tea instead of coffee; maybe I need to go back to coffee.

 

Perry ... good tip.
