tool for floorplan instances

Question

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?

 

What do you think?
