stevenyhof Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Hello, I have continually updated (exported) my layers, defaults, etc and imported them into older jobs where I am using the older plan for a new job. However, there are things I have done with my .plan template (always fine tuning) that have other things I would like to have for a new drawing. I even tried to copy the plan floor to paste into a new plan, but that does not work. When I draw condos, I use an existing plan, copy and rename for a new drawing. It would be nice as I learn more and fine tune things to have those things available. What do others do to accomplish this? https://www.loom.com/share/57602a5852f14e4ba4272bf383018a5a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kbird1 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 In Older Versions of Chief you couldn't Copy Cameras AFAIR, so maybe that is the issue? M. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, so if you have sections (section lines) in your floor it will do nothing. Once I shut the layer off it worked. Thank you for that info!!
