I need to pick brains.
I do a lot of simple production house plan sets for local builders. just the basics, no detailing, no specs.
Over the years, I have developed a general notes block that I typically include in all sets. The problem is that the set is a bit too generic for my tastes. (For example, I cover both engineered lumber as well as dimension lumber; CMU foundations as well as concrete foundations.
I'd like to have a set of notes which only covers the assemblies and materials used in a particular project.
My question: what's the best way of doing this?
I see several options:
1. Develop a note block for each combination of assemblies (relatively simple to do, but an invitation for trouble).
2. Use key notes
3. Paste different note blocks into one sheet as needed (pain in the ...)
4. Keep doing what I've been doing.
5. Do something I haven't even thought about.
All help will be appreciated.
