Import .plan to other .plan file

[tcbpremier]

Hey everyone, I have been trying to figure this out and im hoping there is an easy answer that im just missing. I tried a search but nothing seems to be coming up. 

 

Im working on a lot that has 2 residential buildings on it. Originally they were separate projects, now the client is wanting to see them side by side because, well just because. 

 

Is there  a way to import all floors of a .plan file to another .plan file without having to redraw everything? Again, im sorry if this is just something blatantly obvious that im missing but it would save a ton of time.

The "Subdivision Method" or "Symbol Method" is outlined here in this tutorial :  ( makes 2nd house in to a symbol >add to library)

We use the subdivision method for our plot plans.  I draw the lot and the topography as it is before grading.  Set the house as symbol from the other plan file.  I also use generic symbols from my library to set the "neighbors" houses.  This is a good way to communicate sidelines.
