Multiple Stories Copy x Instance

Anonymous — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 17:05:09 GMT

I need to model a building with 25 stories. But most of them are equal. So if a change one of them the others should change too. What is the best way to do it, since a copy of the main story didn't update.
This one should be the main story and the other the instance.

Thanks guys,.

Make your floor plan a hotlink module, and if you have repetitive units in the floor plan, make the unit a hotlink module, this works great if you have to make any changes, this changes will be done in all of the stories.

Search the help file and forum for Modules.

if you've drawn only a story. save the file to mod. file instead of pln.

and open a new file to create your project.

create 25 stories in story setting.

file> external content > place hotlinked module

select the mod. file

do it in each story

(tips: to do it faster, set shift+P to be the short key for placing new module)

if any modification, do it in the mod. file, save it

the your project will ask you to update when you open it
