jerry-built Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 I am single user and have a housing project coming up for about 30 houses with about five house types. I want to be able to draw each house type once only with a full set of design layers to generate floor plans, elevations and sections. The site is sloping so there will be different z heights for the same house. Not sure if this is possible and, if so, what is the best way of doing this. I am not familiar with referencing if this is the way forward. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. iMac 27" Retina 5K 2014 4 GHz Intel Core i7 24 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 AMD Radeon R9 M295X 4096 MB VW Architect anfd Renderworks 2016 Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 You can try Viewports on Design Layers. Separate your house prototypes on own Layers and prepare Layers to put your Viewports on. You can move those in Z-Height later. Quote Link to comment
jerry-built Posted August 16, 2016 Author Share Posted August 16, 2016 Thanks zoomer I will give this a try. I have not used Design Layer Viewports yet. Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 If the copies of the Prototypes are complete Buildings, 100% exactly the same and independent from other stuff, simple Symbols may work too. Not sure if that will work in calculations. Copying complete buildings by Viewports on Design Layers is quite ok. Using it for parts of buildings like toilet areas and such things inside a building seems to be much more difficult and uncomfortable. Quote Link to comment
