The default Navigator plan folder will not accept a plan (Electrical) that I created. This should be a simple matter of drag and drop - what am I missing here?

The simplest procedure for creating electrical plans (or other views) is to set the layer combo, scale, etc. as desired, and drag the stories from the Navigator Project Map into a View Set using the side-by-side View Editor palette.

However, within Navigator there is another kind of default Plan folder, and the graphic on the folder is a little plan-shaped thingy. This is the folder that I can't place new plans into.

I have created a new folder called "Plans" and I can readily put my various Plan types here - Construction, RCP. Elec, etc. The graphic on this folder is simply the folder graphic.

If so, as I understand it, you cannot add another plan to the Project Map navigator as this is actually showing stories, not individual plans (you've still only got one first floor), whereas the View Sets side shows the combinations of stories, layers, display options to create different views of the appropriate storey (first floor plan, first floor RCP, first floor elec. etc.)
Have I understood correctly, or am I on the wrong side of the world again?

It will contain a view for each storey you have in the model and will update automatically as you add or delete storeys in the model.
You can however redefine the folder (and I believe the individual storey views) so you have the layer combination, scale & drawing options that you want.
Nor can you delete any part of it as it will all delete.

Sounds like you got the right stuff here - send in the clones.
Does anyone know the logic behind the clones? Isn't there something unethical about using them?
