oldgreg Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Hey everyone, probably a simple answer but I can't seem to find it searching here and google... how do I apply different style templates to existing plans such that I can quickly change all cabinets or floors, for example, on an existing structure, without having to manually go in and adjust each default live in the plan when viewing with a client?

Kiwideziner Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 quickest would be to select same tool I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldgreg Posted July 27, 2015 Author Share Posted July 27, 2015 Not following. I anticipate (expect?) there must be a way to switch between various default styles on an existing plan. Is that not possible? For instance, if I have a structure that I wanted to apply the Craftsman style to that is included with Chief, how would I apply that style after the fact, instead of upfront before drawing everything?

oldgreg Posted July 27, 2015 Author Share Posted July 27, 2015 That's disappointing. How about a more detailed long answer on how to achieve the same thing in as efficient approach as possible? Let's use the example of cabinets and flooring. Should I just modify defaults and save copies of the plan with the different configurations? The reason I was trying to avoid this is so that I don't lose track of actual plan edits made along the way by keeping everything in the same plan. Thanks for the thoughts.

Kbird1 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 you can use the Defaults Tool too for some things like cabinets see this article in the KB , lots of good info there ....
