in architecture floor plans are often individual, still more often it happens, that the same type of floor plan appears repeatingly in a building.
1) An apartment building has 2-6 types of apartments, all with the same floor plan
2) hotel rooms, single rooms in a hospital, motel, hostel...
3) a highrise building, skyscraper has stories which appear more than once in the building (story 3-x generally are the same)
However, there doesn't exist a coherent way for managing floorplan instances in VW.
- Symbols could be the object of choice, however every object inside a symbol is cut from all vectorworks story settings, stamp objects work in the scale 1:1 and not the actual drawing scale...
- referenced design layers don't work very well as well
At all both options are workarounds but there doesn't exist a reliable stable solution.
I frankly actually don't know how it could be, maybe the option that the content from a symbol is story sensitive could be a solution? That would solve a lot of questions?
