CPDesigns Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Hello, I am an Interior Designer working with X14 and wanted know how to build a set of drawings for a remodel. I have drawn the as-built and want to keep it as I do a couple space plans for my clients. Eventually I will want to do a set of construction documents and will use that as built to show walls being removed. Is it best to use different sheets even though Chief thinks I am building an attic(this is a single story home)? How do others handle remodel drawings? Thank you, Cheryl~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeaTime Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 You'll want to use Save As to create copies of the as-built in order to create different variants. Sadly Chief doesn't have a lot built in to immediately streamline this process but they have a bunch of videos on this topic: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/search/?default_tab=all&q=remodel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I typically find it's safest to at least mockup the whole house. Though you may be "just building an attic" right now, wait til that client comes back with more requests. That plan file may end up needing 2 floors below it - it's safer to model at least a basic shell and then just focus on the one area you're actually working on. Helps with camera views as well.
