Alternate Plans and views
What's the best way to design a single house with alternate floor plans and alternate foundations, i.e mono slab, crawl, basement version and/or unfinished attic vs. finished attic space?
Layers? Any other way that's better or accepted practice?
Also, what about lot layout plans... for a sub-division.... i.e. showing the sub-division and house footprint on each lot.... CAD? Any other way or accepted practice?
Thanks...

I would do separate plan files for each floorplan.

Tommy's right, file>save as, change name to option 2. For a subdivision, use "plan footprint".

If you can keep the structure the same it will be easier to do the Cd's..
