No, there's not any real good reason for it.

One view set for the whole area and one for the addition only. This means of course that you have to place the existing elements and the addititon in different layers.<BR /> <BR /> Petros Wed, 17 May 2006 16:48:47 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Documentation/another-question-about-detail-drawings/m-p/76107#M60324 Petros Ioannou 2006-05-17T16:48:47Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Documentation/another-question-about-detail-drawings/m-p/76108#M60325 <BLOCKQUOTE>Maura wrote:<BR />Thanks, Tom.
