I'm using Designer Pro and watched all the videos, can't say I remember everything though..
My question is a general question. I have a lot with an older house on it. I want to build an addition, and also a separate garage. I'd like to draw up the original house first but I don't want it in the calculations for materials and so forth. I'd also like the garage to be calculated separately.
It's also a sloped lot, so I do want to have the elevations correct for the lot as there will be a walkout basement apartment.
At a high level, what's the best approach ?
Here's what things look like at the moment:

I updated my signature as you mentioned, Solver. Thanks. Also I found the tutorial on plot plans so I have my lot properly defined.
I've gone through the links and searched the forum and this seems to be the best approach:
I've seen several posts asking this question or something similar. It sounds like it would be a good idea to have a way to identify items that are existing (unless there is and I haven't found it yet). That way you could easily design an existing structure (exclude it from the materials list) and then add structure to it.
Does this make sense ?
