I am working on putting together a 3D model and set up for drafting on a 17 story residential tower. Since the floor plans are fairly repetitive (3-5 the same, 6-11 the same, 12-17 the same) I would like to know the best way to set up the stories for the model. Is there a way to do this without drawings the floor plan 17 times and still show up on every level of the model? Can you link floors so if you change one it repeats above?
Basically what is the best set up for a tower project?
for the sake of not repeating lot's of previous discussions; there's plenty of information here if you do a search or have a look at the ArchiCAD reference guide.
you can also have nested modules. For example there might be 5 different residential units. Quantity and arrangement of each unit type could vary per floor module type.
