Layout Elevations

[HSuser2]

I have created a template that once you relink to a new plan the floor plans automatically change to the new plan I linked. I also did this with elevations making sure the same cross sections/elevation camera is used every time but link breaks once you link to a new plan and you have to manually relink each elevation instead of it auto populating like the floor plans do. Am I doing something wrong?

are you using the tools->layout-Referenced plans/layouts from the layout menu?

 

I use it all the time.

 

...but the better workflow I found is to just have a template project with the layout and plan file in it, already linked) Then just duplicate the project, and rename the project, plan, layout

Yes, I do have a template project with a plan file already in it linked. and when I use the tools>layout- Reference plans/layout it references the plans but not the elevation. They just end up with an ! symbol saying pathway not found even though they are they are the same camera that are already saved on my plan templates.

if I understand, correcty:

 

If you go into your template project, then open up the template layout, and go to that camera, and click to update the view, it updates the layout with the elevation of the template plan.

 

But if you copy your template project to a new project, and then go to the layout file in the new project anddo the same thing, you dont see the plan's elevation, and instead you get that error?

 

You shouldnt.

 

I assume you are using project management mode?
