dshall Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 You should make sure you have only one of the windows specified as "Include in Schedule" and "Show Label". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 For electrical lights just insert the cad block and only one will be included in the sched., but will show on both floors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJSpud Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJSpud Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Thanks Eric ... I knew it was simple ... I will stick with the tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
