Linking or Importing?<br /><br />I'm sorry but as helpful as this beginners step by step tut is (I've found nothing like it online before), it still leaves out steps and has questionable directions. Which is probably why no matter how often I try this something fails. I've gotten closer than ever before following your directions and am thankful for this blog, but I'm missing a couple of the brain cells needed to fill in the gaps.

Just select the 1/2" or 1/4" scale or so it only shows in the scales dedicated to your enlarged plans. The other option is to create a new Elevation View Type, then create a View Filter to define it from showing. My preference is to only "reference other views" in instances where the intent is replicated.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11322403486157723567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22975127.post-72835721567552826222014-10-19T08:30:17.890-07:002014-10-19T08:30:17.890-07:00The best solution we've found to cleaning up w...The best solution we've found to cleaning up wall intersections is actually to keep your model as simple as possible with as few intersections as is necessary.
