How to Split Floor into two objects without losing original annotations?

[AAdawiBIM]

Dears,

How I can Split Floor into two or more floors objects without losing original annotations as following shots?

Please advise if there is a method to keep annotations and dimensions when floor being split.

Make the original floor and annotations into a group first. Copy the group to a new one, edit boundary, you will lose half of the annotations. Edit the original group, and repeat the editing to make the other half, you will lose the other half of the annotations.  But with both of them you still have complete annotations for 2 different floors.

Could you describe the method you are using that doesn't work?

Why not create duplicate views as dependents?

Hi @AAdawiBIM

Thanks for being a participant in the Autodesk Community!

Please try the steps below to split the floor plan with details.Create a dependent view (with detailing), rename the view as required and make 2 scope boxes for the different views. 

Step by step solution:

1. In the Project Browser, select the view for which you want to create dependent views.Note: You cannot create a dependent view from another dependent view.
2. Click View tab-Create panel-Duplicate View drop-down-Duplicate as Dependent, or right-click the view name, and click Duplicate View-Duplicate as a Dependent.The dependent view opens. In the default Project Browser organization, the dependent view displays under the primary view. If you customize the Project Browser display, dependent views can be grouped and filtered like other view types.
3. Optionally, in the Project Browser, right-click the dependent view name, and click Rename. Enter a new name for the view, and click OK.
4. Select the crop boundaries and resize as necessary to show only the necessary portion of the view.If crop regions are not visible click  (Show Crop Region) on the View Control Bar. You can display model and annotation crop regions.
5. Instead pf crop region you can create scope boxes for each view in a plan view.Click View tabCreate panel (Scope Box)
6. You might have to manually moved few tags/ dimensions which are outside the scope box or have a different insertion point.

I believe he wanted to split a Floor, not a View.

Exactly.

Edit: How can you keep detail elements in a group across multiple views. You can't. And you can't keep them together with model elements either way and ADGs won't help here.

Maybe the best would be to save a copy of the model then edit floors separately to two desired boundaries, and than copy back into primary model. You could copy all model and detail + anno in one model before editing.

Hi

You have multiple options to achieve that..

one way 

1. Original Floor (A)

2. Copy and Paste the floor twice at the same place - Floor 1, Floor 2

3. Edit Floor 1 as per new profile

4. Edit Floor 2 as per new profile.

5. Hide Floor 1, and 2..

6. Copy all the annotation from Original Floor (A)

7. Delete Floor (A)

8. Paste the Annotation ( aligned to same place )

( you will loose few annotation or dimension as there might be dimensions which will get redundant

Ex: overall dimension, cause the floor got split )

Second way.

If the floor type is not changing, I mean thickness then you may keep the floor as it is 

and use split lines and assign new material on the surface.. that way you wont loose any 

annotation and dimensions..

you can split and delete those split as many times as you want...without worrying of loosing

any annotation..

Cheers!
