OldBarnDesign Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Hey all, My layout file is referencing an additional .plan file in a different project. I'm not sure what I did. I know how to determine which plan it's referencing, I just don't know what element it's needed from that other file. Is there a way to figure that out so I can decouple it? Thanks!

Kbird1 Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Try turning on the Layout Box Borders , I make the Line Style Orange , then go carefully page by page to find the (empty?) Layout Box and delete it. Mick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SusanC Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Can you post a screen shot of the error message you are receiving? It sounds like there is a .plan file on the layout that is not saved in the same folder as the layout. You probably can't see it, but you can find it by going through page by page and clicking on each page until your "click" highlights an empty box and you can then delete. This has happened to me in the past after I've deleted an old plan but forgotten to delete it off the layout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldBarnDesign Posted August 12, 2022 Author Share Posted August 12, 2022 Thanks for the replies, y'all are great. Here is a screenshot... so if I start Chief fresh and open the MOGL-House.layout file, it realizes it needs both the MOGL-House.plan file AND the unwanted .plan - Live Oak Farmhouse.plan. It finds and resolves just fine, and actually opens both referenced files it depends on and shows them in the project browser. What I want to figure out which thing in my layout it's using from that Live Oak Farmhouse.plan. One idea I guess would be to temporarily move the Live Oak plan to somewhere else so that it doesn't find it and see where the empty boxes are?

Solution Kbird1 Posted August 12, 2022 Solution Share Posted August 12, 2022 might be enough to rename the Live Oak plan temporarily with .old or something.... M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SusanC Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 I agree with Mick. Rename the LiveOak plan with something like LiveOakOld and delete the LiveOak and the empty boxes off your layout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldBarnDesign Posted August 12, 2022 Author Share Posted August 12, 2022 Thanks y'all, found it. Your suggestions helped. I renamed the Farmhouse plan and then was able to see that I accidentally sent a square footage schedule from the Farmhouse plan to the other project's layout file.
