I am creating a stem wall foundation plan and would like to have the overlay of the first floor to show the walls and plumbing. However I can not seem to find a way to get the plumbing to show on the overlay. Any tips or help or how one else does it?
Tom,
In your foundation plan create a new layer (faded floor plan) and make it a "faded" layer or assign a pen / screen color to achieve the same thing. Open your floor plan and copy it to Softplan clipboard. Go to your foundation plan and paste from Softplan clipboard, pasting your drawing to the side of the foundation plan. Assign all items on the pasted floor plan to the new layer, "faded floor plan". Erase any unwanted items from your pasted floor plan that you do not want showing over the foundation plan. Use tools-group to group all remaining floor plan items together. Use move command and toggle on "group" and move an exact position on your floor plan to an exact position on your foundation plan (reference point works great). You now should have a faded overlay of your floor plan items with your foundation plan below. You can turn this layer off as needed.
This way sounds like a lot of work, but it really only takes about a minute to achieve.
