I want to create only the floor plan of building 1 from the floor plan of building 2. How do you do

I want to create only the floor plan of building 1 from the floor plan of building 2.
How do you do it?

I'm trying to express the floor plan work, such as the dimensions of the building below.
To work on dimensions, etc., the above move overlaps with the dimensions, etc.

In REVIT, it works by copying the view and processing the Element on the upper layer as Hidden.

in ArchiCAD

After Hidden element in REVIT

 

What I can think of is to double the layer and make each copper layer, but in this way, it seems that the layer must increase in multiples whenever the number of copper increases
I'm curious to see how other people are handling it.

I am unclear, are these two separate buildings or are you doing a renovation where building 1 will become building 2?

 

If two separate buildings, model building 1 and then 'save as' building 2 and amend it (or the other way around).

Don't try to complete plans for 2 buildings in one file by using duplicate layers.

It can be done but could get messy.

It is a building with 101 buildings and 102 buildings and an underground parking lot.

Are you saying to create 101 and 102 buildings respectively and hotlink them to the file with the underground parking lot?

It is called a building floor plan, so each building draws a drawing at 1/200 scale.

You seem to have both of these buildings in the one file already?

You can always create layouts and crop the drawing frames so you only see one building.

 

If I was modelling this then yes, I would have each building in a separate file and hotlink them into one master file for the overall project.

This is the part I always don't understand.

There is a concept called autocad or revit overlay.
However, archicad does not have that concept.

Apartments use a lot of types.
So I use mod.

mod-A, mod-B ------> BuildingA <------ Underground parking lot all

mod-C, mod-D ------> BuildingB <------ underground parking lot all

The reason for including an underground parking lot is that, as in the previous question, the floor plan for each building must be drawn up to the basement floor (parking lot).

BuildingA -----> ALL Project <-------- BuildingB

Underground parking is redundant.

I thought it was only in REVIT form
You can show the floor plan of each building with WORKSHEET! ^^

However, I have the idea that this is not an accurate answer.

As you said, it seems to be the correct answer to do it separately.
And the underground part can be made from the entire file.
