I started a new drawing from a basic template. Threw in some walls, doors and windows on the A-Wall layer. As soon as I turn on Renovation Mode, it automatically changes those walls, doors and windows to "existing". Why is that? What if I wanted those to remain new walls? Do I then have to use the renovation tool to select and make them new?
I am able to understand the basics of this tool through spending a day figuring it out. Has anyone found training videos for this tool? All I have found is the basic advertisement video put out by AutoDesk.
Thanks in advance for your help!

I believe it assumes all entities are existing when you select reno mode. You will have to select and change to your "new work" layers.
I am trying to erase some objects and when I do it changes them from existing to demo. I really want to delete them.
Haven't figured out how to yet.
I have all the layers set up the way I want them... There has to be a setting somewhere that allows you to retain them. You'd think anyway.
To solve your problem:
Turn Renovation Mode off, then delete them. If you keep deleting them with it on, you'll have multiple items.
