basilbabaa Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Might be a silly question, but I designed a building and have need of pulling the entire building into another existing plan file, to place the building onto a different terrain model. In essence I'd like to be able to design buildings as templates "so to speak" and import/place them in any subsequent newly created plan file...

basilbabaa Posted March 2, 2019 Author Share Posted March 2, 2019 Okay so I turned off the dimensions layer and copy is now possible. Thanks for the tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basilbabaa Posted March 2, 2019 Author Share Posted March 2, 2019 But it does not pull all the floors. So, is there a way to copy the entire structure and paste it into a new plan file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lbuttery Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 yes, create a 3D symbol of the building and place it in the Library then place that symbol in the next plan I use this method whenever I have multiple buildings each building is a separate plan then I have a Master plan with the terrain this gives me more control over the roofs and framing etc without interfering with the other buildings the top gurus can do it all in one plan but that takes skills to manage it all properly Lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
