j2narchitecture Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Hello. Is there a way to transfer an existing plan onto a new template? I have an existing plan for a one story house with foundation, but there are no active views. Rather than creating all new active views, I would like to transfer the plan to a template that already has preset active views. Any input is greatly appreciated. Thank you kindly.

MarkMc Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 You can do it using Edit area- one story is not too bad but you can also import plan views by selecting a plan and default sets that you export from plan to go with them. This is often easier than moving the building. Note you want to replace duplicates NOT rename or it gets messy. To do what you ask- first import defaults if applicable, then check structure settings (they don't import) I also always check the roof defaults and any wall overrides to roof. Unlock and dsiplay all layers that you want,then edit area all visible, select, copy, paste and hold position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
