Several Houses on one Plot

[ArchiVlad]

I have a new project with a large, relatively steep plot and 19 or 20 houses (masterplan still to be finalised) including access road, retaining walls etc.. The houses will be divided into 3 types (A, B and C), whereas B and C are identical, but mirrored. 

Given the steepness of the site, each house will have a different absolute 0,00 level. How do I go about setting up the levels? and is there a way to create somthing similar to Blocks (in Autocad) for the 3 individual types, where I can draw, make changes and add details to all instances of the same type?

Operating system used: Windows

Hi,

What you are looking for, similar to blocks can be achieved by using hotlinks - you would have a file for House A, another for house B, another for C.
And you can place these onto the site plan in a different file. When you edit House A, it will auto-update everywhere.

In regards to 0 level, you may decide if you choose to have one that is project-wide and then have each house base level in regards to that. You can annotate that in the main file where you have the hotlink inserted.

Hope this helps.

If your Type B and C are just mirrored, you can use just the single module for both. From memory, there were only a few niche things that did not mirror cleanly, though I do not remember exactly what...
