Foundation Plans

[atmelaragno]

Hello,

I am currently learning ConDoc 4. I am starting with a simple detached  garage to learn the system and try to work out as many kinks as possible before I jump into a full blown project. I want to organize my models with the foundation and/or basement on a layer called “Level_00” so that when I am working on a house plan with a basement or finished basement I can turn off the 2D graphics from my 1st floor “Level_01” but still have 2d graphics for my basement display. In the ConDoc Configurator, I have “Level_01” turned off on my foundation plan settings. When ever I use the plan generator for my foundation plan, the layer “Level_01” is turned on in all of my foundation scenes. Is there a reason that “Level_01” cannot be turned off or is there another setting I am missing that won’t allow “Level_01” to be turned off?

Thanks,

-Andy

Hello Andy!

There shouldn’t be any issue with what you are describing.  When you run the plan generator, make sure you check yes for a basement.  This will create a Level_00 layer.  Assign this layer to the group holding everything that represents your basement.  When you create a foundation plan, You should see both the Level_00 and Level_01 foundations turn on (not 100% sure without testing).  At this point you can start to manually adjust scenes as desired, turning layers on/off and updating the scenes.  Just be careful you don’t mess with the scene cameras!  Let me know if this helps!
