HumbleChief Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I always wanted a way to change floors to the foundation level when I changed the Anno Set to my Foundation Anno Set and it was always a 2 step process both down to the foundation and back up to the main floor. With a foundation plan set it changes floors and Anno Sets together with one simple step. SWEET!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HumbleChief Posted January 18, 2018 Author Share Posted January 18, 2018 Curious Perry, Have you (or anyone) incorporated the plan views in to your template plan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Yes, the plan views are indeed incorporated into my template plans, never have to set them up again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CARMELHILL Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Me too. After watching Jared Baehmers video about setting up his templates (below link), I decided to erase my entire template set for X10 and start from scratch. It cleaned up the initial template file by 100k. I also took Jared's advice because he mentions that enclosing a room on your template, that room, even when erased, retains memory in Chief. So even if you erase the room and redraw a new room, it would automatically get labeled like the old room that was in it's place. I never realized that until I tested it. So my new template only has a few walls on the plan that I use regularly, but no defined rooms. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/1963/creating-a-successful-workflow-for-design-construction-document-production-by-jared-baehmer.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
