In other words, if I create a surface in one .pln and I want to use it in another .pln do I really need to copy and past an object that has the surface?</T></DIV> Thu, 04 May 2017 23:11:28 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Libraries-objects/share-surfaces-between-files/m-p/281707#M6405 Dave Brach 2017-05-04T23:11:28Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Libraries-objects/share-surfaces-between-files/m-p/281708#M6406 Surfaces are Attributes.<BR /> You can use the Attribute Manager to transfer any attribute from one file to another.<BR /> You can also save an attribute file of the surfaces you want and overwrite (replace) or append (add) them into any file - this save you opening the PLN in the Attribute Manager each time and try to find the surfaces you want to add.<BR /> An attribute file will only contain just the attributes you saved into it.<BR /> <BR /> Barry.
