    Louise,

    You can use Copy and Paste/Hold Position to help you with this. Use separate files for your exteriors, and put the exterior walls on a new layer that you make, like Walls, Exterior. I recommend a separate door layer as well.

    Keep the interior up-to-date in onlyone of them. When you need to apply those updates to your second or third plan:

    In the primary plan - turn off your exterior walls, doors and windows, leaving only your interior walls, doors, cabinets etc showing. Select them, Ctrl-C to copy onto the clipboard.

    Go to the next plan and Ctrl-Alt-V to Paste/Hold Position. You may need to select rooms and restablish their room type and any non-default floor or ceiling heights. Other than that, this works like a charm.

    I wrote code in 1984 to make my Sinclair 100 - so I used to be a programmer! So I can say with authority how easy it is to program Chief features! ;-)
