Making different plan types of the same floor

[Anonymous]

Hey all, 

Ok, I'm a newb in design school and I need to make various plan types for the same floor. A partition plan, finishes plan, millwork, etc .How do I duplicate the floorplan while changing wall hatch types and notations to be different in each plan? I can't have my partition plan hatches in the finishes plan, etc.

Thank you,

Erica

Duplicate a plan view to create other plan views. Annotations are view dependent so you can add different annotations for different views. Wall hatch patterns can be overridden per view via VG command, that does not affect other views.

...as long as you don't edit your view template, it doesn't affect other views. Probably you want to set your view template to <none> (and/or after applying your desired view template for most settings), else you won't be able to edit them anyway as they will be greyed out/controlled by the view template.

if you create new view templates for each new plan style....then you only have to make your custom parameters one time....

As was mentioned above, you can copy your drawing view as many times as you like, and you can rename each view to suit your purpose... 

You can also use the options in the Visibility Graphics tab (VG) to control what is seen in each drawing.  

Furthermore... you can use the View Template tool to set up templates for future projects to follow the standards you set today.  That way you dont have to keep making the same adjustments to new drawings in order to get them to conform to your purposes.  

Another way to look at it... A police officer gets dressed in his uniform each day he goes on patrol.  the uniform is the same every day... Monday through Friday, he has a "template" for what he is supposed to wear and the tools he will need.  On Saturday, the same police officer is coaching a soccer team... that day, he wears a different template.  Same guy... different clothes, different tools.

Except when the police officer takes off his badge on Monday, the badge isn't on his uniform Tuesday. How does the officer take the badge off only on Monday, but have it there on Tuesday? Also, if he's wants to wear pilot wings on his uniform on Wednesdays, once he puts those on, it's still there on Thursday...How can floor plans be duplicated, but completely independent of each other? I want the same floor plan, but different options, without creating any templates, etc...that starts taking away any ease of use.

View templates will only control the items checked in the include column. If there are are portions pf a view that you want consistent you can include that category.

Secondly, you can apply a view template to apply things then remove the template and change items with the standard VGs.

Thirdly, you can uncheck filters and then apply filters to the differing plans to override the view template.
