    Building in Phases/Stages

    hello,

    this is my second post so please be patient.

    Is there a way to design a plan in "Stages".

    I.E. when you present the plan to a client you can show them, what the house looks like now, what it will look like with the additions and then what it would look like with the second set of additions. I would like this in a single plan type environment without having to draw/replicate several plans and opening each and rendering.

    thanks for your time.

    Close but no cigar.

    With layers and layersets some of this can be done, but it isn't possible to make a room completely invisible. Floors and ceilings for example can't be assigned to layers so even if you assign the additions walls to another layer and then turn them off the floor(s) and ceiling(s) for that addition would still show.

    Currently, multiple plans is the only way to go.
