I reused a file to start a project (I know, I should be stating with a temple instead....)
I deleted the old building and my new building is very far from the original.
When I go to setup elevation views, there are no elevation tags because they are where the old building was.
Is there a good way to reset these so that they show up in the new views? Is elongation the new view and then stretching down the only way?
Thanks
Make sure you model close to the internal origin. Being far from the origin can have a negative impact on viewing and printing the model accurately. Far away is more than 10 miles from the origin. If elevations look like they are using wireframe when set to hidden line that's an indication something is too far from the origin. DWG files often cause this problem when linked or imported. Also if you see jagged lines or if snapping doesn't seem to land on the element when you place your cursor on an endpoint, for example, is another symptom.
If you can't see any levels, sketch a new one in the view, or find any view you have that they are visible in. Then select it (or any that you can see) and right click to select all instances in the project. Then right click to maximize 3D extents. You can delete the new level afterward.

There's nothing wrong with that workflow. Starting a new project from an old project IS essentially starting from a "template" - a better one. The question I have is why "the new building is very far from the original" ? By doing this, you are defeating the benefits of starting a new project from an old project. What is your reasoning for modeling another building in relationship to a building that isn't there? Why not model the new building in the same spot as the deleted building?
Because I had the overall site plan (its a large scale development) overlaid in plan already
with the new building on it. I didn't want to have to reorient the building/site.

Huh? You don't want to move/reorient the site plan? Why? Serious question. Again, it sounds like you are modeling your new building in relationship to the old building - which doesn't exist in the new project anymore. In other words, the site relates to the old building - not the new building. Know what I mean?
