WORKING ON MULTIPLY PROJECTS IN THE SAME ARICAD FILE

[Anonymous]

I AM CURRENLY WORKING ON A BUILDING WITH MULTIPLY PROJECTS.

SCOPE OF WORK
1.) DESIGN A NEW GYM
2.) DESIGN A NEW CAFAE

TO SPEED UP THE WORK FLOW, I HAVE BEEN USING EXTENSION @ THE END OF MY LAYERS TO DISTIQUIST BETWEEN THE TWO PROJECTS. EXAMPLE (1Z-WALL.GYM) / (1Z-WALL-CAFE). THIS METHOD WORKS FINE BUT YOU END WITH A LOT OF LAYERS THAT ARE SIMILAR IN NAME WHICH MY TIME LEADS TO DELETING,LOCKING,HIDE BY MISTAKE. CAN I USE THE ZONE TOOL HANDLE THIS ISSUE

Of course I have looked in the dictionary and I know what AC means by "story"!:)
But what is the word you use in everyday work? The common word architects use?

Most architects I know use "first floor", "second floor", etc. in common parlance. We usually use "story" only in the context of ArchiCAD to avoid the confusion with actual floor assemblies.

The NCS layers don't help much either. A-FLOR is the layer for floor assemblies, but A-FLOR-HRAL - for example - contains handrails on a story.

It seems we are stuck with some confusion in the language here, so we will just need to make sure we are clear when we speak/write about it.
