IM WORKING ON A MULTI UNIT BUILDING PROJECT. i HAVE 4 LEVELS WITH 6 UNITS PER LEVEL AND 3 UNIQUE PLANS. wHAT WOULD BE A GOOD WAY TO DRAW THE PLANS ONE TIME AND THEN PIECE THEM TOGETHER CREATING AN OVERALL FLOOR PLAN BUT I WHEN I MAKE CHANGES TO A UNIT PLAN, ALL THE SIMILAR UNIT PLANS UPDATE AUTOMATICALLY. iS THERE SOMETHING SIMILAR TO REVITS DUPLICATE FEATURES?

THANKS

The typical way is to save the unit plans as modules (*.mod file type).

You can do this from within the project file or create a separate file for the unit plans. The former is OK for smaller projects like yours but there are advantages to the separate file. There are quite a few variations on the process depending on your specific requirements.

There has been a fair amount of discussion of this over the years. A search of the forum could turn up everything you need to know.

BTW, don't forget to turnoff your caps lock key. No need to shout here.
