i'm doing a school project consisted of four floors, and my question is,
let say i have my ground floor plan, but i want to show the plumbing, electrial, ventilation, mechanical and grid system for my ground floor plan, but if i put them all in one plan the plan will be difficult to read, so i decide to do 5 ground floor plan showing each of the systems above. so how can i print them in indivial page and showing the correct layout id so my page index will have them too?
thank you for your time.

None of these forums are intended for users who have not at least worked through the basic tutorials. If you are still confused after going through the basic training files, ask again.

maybe i didnt ask my question correctly, in the tutorial, there are only 1 plan for the ground floor and 1 plan for the gellery space
but my question is, what if i want to have 5 ground floor plan showing different elements. do i just duplicate 5 copies and draw them on one sheet?

Put each of the types of element on a different layer e.g. all electrical stuff on the electrical layer, all plumbing stuff on the plumbing layer.
Now create a different layer combinations with only the bits you want to see turned on for each type of plan you want. E.g. an electrical plan layer combination would need the electrical layer turned on, the walls turned on and obviously the landscaping layer turned off. etc etc.
Create as many views of the plans as needed and assign each one a different layer combination.
This is a fundamental concept to producing drawings in ArchiCAD. Create a view from a viewpoint (a plan, elev etc) and assign a layer combination, a scale, a pen set, model view options, and cut plane settings to it to get it to appear how you want.
This thread has a pdf at the bottom which may be helpful to you -
