The As Built plan no longer is visible in the Layout but is still referenced. are being pulled from 'Smith Proposed 1'. I 'Save As' the As Built and call it 'Smith Proposed 1. I finish the As Built model, all is good. Still in my Layout working on the As Built. Now all my elevations, sections, everything is being pulled from the As Built 1 plan.

I then go to the plan template file that's in the Layout double click to open it and Save As back to the Smith folder as 'As Built 1'. I click 'New Layout' and my Layout template pops up and I 'Save As' a file in the new Smith folder and call it 'Smith 24 x 36 Layout'. I go and measure a very simple 1500 SF older home in the San Diego suburbs.Īrrive home and it's time to draw the new job. are all pulled from the Plan template and sent to a Layout Page. The elevations, sections, foundation, framing plan etc. (Will probably use a modified SAM eventually but for now I've got a couple templates) It's all set and ready to go. Let's say I have a Layout template with a Plan template referenced within that Layout. An 'as built' or 'existing' plan and a 'proposed' plan. For the remodels I do I almost always have two plan files. Just reviewed a SAM versus template video (Scott) and noticed for the first time each method appears to only have one plan in it. Appreciate your patience and find it a bit uncomfortable posting these simple questions but am struggling a bit.
