New project using an existing file

Hi First time posting

I have a completed project that is to get an extension. 

Best way to do this - i want to copy the building over and make it an existing phase so that we can start drawing the proposals without effecting anything previously drawn i.e levels. I have tried to doing this with simple copy and paste function from the 3D perspective but when i add levels the model fills with errors. There doesn't seem to be any clear guidance on set up and method? Where am i going wrong? Thanks in advance

Why don't you just use the current project and save it with another name?  Change all elements to existing phase.

Thanks i may have tried this also. I set up the new drawing but what is best way to change them all to existing? Would it be selecting all items in the 3D view?

Also I thought by copying over to a new project I thought it would be quicker way to lose all the drawing sheets etc as it is quite a large file and have a clean project?

As with many things, there are many different paths that will get you to the same destination.  Here is what I would do.  Open the file, detaching it from the central file.  Save as a new name.  Add a new level in the phasing. Then change your views to the new phase.  All of your walls should turn to existing.  

 

Hope this helps.

Have you considered just building onto your existing project? You can add additional Phases to it.
