I was hoping for some insight about how to use the section line tool. I created a section line on my design layer model and the section was generated on a sheet layer. How do I show my section line on my floor plan in the viewport of my floor plan on a sheet layer .
Figured it out. Went to the viewport of the section, selected the section line instances and choose the viewport I would like to add the section line to

I was wondering how you customize a window or door schedule.
It seems when I create the schedule, I need to eliminate the one row where it has the total number of doors, total width, total height, etc. Is there a way to eliminate this line or not show it. When I try to eliminate it the whole schedule goes blank. Also, How do I make my door numbers go from lowest number to highest number

Looking for a better way to create a demo flr plan and proposed flr plan from m y existing plan. Currently, I create my existing floor plan and create my demo layer from this. I will copy the existing plan and create a new layer called the proposed layer. On this layer I remove any walls or doors, windows and add the new items as necessary.
Is there a better way to use my existing flr plan drawing and create the demo and proposed from that?
Do I need to create separate layers for each ie, existing, demo and proposed

I often stayed away from the stair tool and would like to use it more. I had a question about when setting the stairs in a 3 story home, do I place the stair on the basement level or do I place in on the first-floor level. The same would be for the stairs going up to the 2nd and 3rd story. Where would i place the stairs

Thanks

Is it possible to reorganize my design layer.
I have my current floor plan and then interior several elevations that I crated from coping area of my floor plan all over the place on this layer.
The layer has gotten really messy and unorganized. The only issue is I created several viewports of the interior elevations and placed those on the the appropriate sheets.
If I move anything around on that layer it will effect what I see in my viewport. I thought there might be way around

Great-
I was able to create my "favorites symbols file. can I make it permanent in my library
How would I share this so other in my group can access it in their resource browser
Do I just share the favorite file?

I am trying to figure out what the best practice is for doing interior elevations.
I typically will copy are area on my floor plan on the floor plan layer, move it off to an area that has some open space.
I then create my 2-d elevations, then create a viewports and put them on the appropriate sheets.
I am not sure if this is the most effective way.
If several people work on the file, often they move the items on my floor plan layer of the 2-d elevations and i am unable to then see the viewport on the sheet.
Please let me know if there is a more effective way?
thanks

I was recently asked this question-
I keep thinking there are organizational things I could devote time to that might save time in the future but I continue to follow my old ways. For instance, I have never developed any libraries of details I use/modify frequently and always have to remember where I used them and then hunt for them. Some are things I’ve done by hand as a sketch because it’s still quicker for me. Is this cataloging of details something people do (not sure how it would be stored or searched)? Any other suggestions?

I am trying to achieve a certain look of a double hung window and can only achieve it by creating a custom window.
In my window schedule, I would like for it to read in the sash orientation as a double hung(DH)- Is there any way to change the custom to a DH in my window schedule?
