Steve_Nyhof 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...

Expand 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!!
