caboosesw Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I am just getting started ... but I am trying to create a few options for knocking down a back wall and building an addition ... so I want to be able to flip through a few with my wife to show her our current house and a few options. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 One way.... draw up the existing house , then do a "save as" with and add an extra name like _Option1 or _Rev.1 (-9) to the Name, than you'll have a few backups of the plan ( if it all goes pear shaped) and a few to change till your/Her heart is content , once narrowed down, do another "Save As" with a new name extended name like _Final . I usually have _Existing _Proposed _Final Files in my Project Folder , along with a back up of each just incase....ie add _BU to end of each name. M.

caboosesw Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share Posted June 22, 2015 Yeah, I did this ... but I guess I wanted to know how one can show "dotted lines" when something is "new" and easily calculate the "new" square footage as well. Thanks for the reply though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
