However I would like to be part of my archicad project. I have not started to design anything yet, but I opened the CAD drawings natively with archicad and then copied and pasted it into a solo project. After I finished working i noted the the drawing is on level 1 in the project browser. So is there a way to maybe "save it as a view" or move it somewhere else within the project structure so that is it no longer drawn on level 1. Preserving the scale is important, but this is a drawing that for all intent a purposes has not relation to the model they way a 2D detail would. Which BTW, is this were a 2D detail, where would I place it so that then I can attach it to a specific part of the model? <BR /> <BR /> 2 different questions in one. Thanks a lot !</T></DIV> Mon, 05 Apr 2010 06:06:12 GMT Anonymous 2010-04-05T06:06:12Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Saving-imported-2D-CAD-Drawing-in-the-project/m-p/119297#M63139 <DIV class="actalk-migrated-content"><T>Hi guys, I drew a site analysis plan in a 2D cad application.
