I don't understand how to link my building plan into my site plan efficiently!? I have a house plan in which we use often for a spec. It is either left or right handed. I would like to be able to keep the house the same from the sole plate up, and do the rest per every site we run across. So the only thing I have to do each time we want to use this house it draw the site plan, then link in the project. Yada Yada. So this is the first time I've done this. I've created a site plan. Then I created my building plan. This is what I've come up with so far. I've created by walls from the first floor level up, along with ever thing else in the building plan. then I linked it to my site plan. Just moved the building plan into elevation position in an elevation view??(is that how you do that by the way....don't understand the whole coordinate thing) Then I created foundation footings and stem walls and the floors (so I could join geometry) in the site plan, then just set there height where it would match up to the first floor on the linked building plan. So everything looks good. But now I am going to document the thing? I guess I do the dimensioning, scheduling, pointing to and everything else to do with a floor plan in the building model, then I do the cross-sections and specific model detailing in the site plan. then have to go back and forth with sheet sets because I've done something here and something over there. I don't like it, of course I may have this whole thing wrong!! I also don't understand how I'm going to keep from re-drawing things with this linking issue.
Anyway, if someone could please shed some light on this one for me I would greatly appreciate it. I'm kind of at a loss. I will proceed just to get the job done, but I sure would like a better way of doing it.
Thanks Guys
Have a good one
