  1. i’m excited for the new version! I really hope it has the ability to create a symbol with a click and a box command. Without the need to name and file it. Similar to groups but to have the object completely locked like a symbol (or block). We would use this option on every site plan footprint! Then we could rotate it like the new symbols.

    • We have items, layers, building options, selections sets, and symbols as methods to combine items. You should probably create a suggestion at https://ww2.softplan.com/?page_id=818 if your looking for another method. That way the developers can sort through exactly what it is you are looking for.

  2. Yes!!!!! I cant wait to get to work on 2016 with the options. Groups is a huge game changer for me or anyone doing true lot specific plans.
