I saved out my drawing and created a separate project for my garage because I was having issues with the different plates heights, roofs and offsets.  Now I have my new garage project, that look fine by itself (thanks for all the help with bonus rooms, sill plates...), but when I bring it into my main project as a neighborhood, I get this.  And I cant edit the garage while in my main drawing.  Any idea where I messed up?  Or how to fix whatever is wrong?

 

1. largest issues is the break in the floors of the garage

2. I need to bring the garage down in relation to the house

3. can I dimension on my floor plan from the house to the garage?

 

I've only used neighborhood once or twice in the last version, and did not have these issues, but the projects were less involved...

 

Thanks,

Dave

You  can only edit in the relevant project. If you need to edit the garage you have to do it in the garage project.

 

I think there is a setting under the common tab in the neighbourhood dialogue box to adjust the height (offset) of the whole project.

 

I've found the easiest way to use neighbourhood is to keep the neighbourhood in it's own project and bring in each of the other projects separately. Rather than adding the garage into an existing neighbourhood in an already completed project. In the neighbourhood site plan, you should be able to dimension between projects.

Hi Dave.

 

I'd like to see the project(s). Please send tickets so we can take a better look at why the drawings cannot be combined into a single project.

how do you turn on neighborhood mode?

 

**EDIT** Found it!!!!

I'm following this discussion.  I want to compliment you on your design!  So nice to see properly detailed traditional design, especially your Gable ends!  These little details turn into complete work arounds in Revit!  As a residential, licensed Architect, who was forced to use Revit for 4 years, I can tell you my previous firm never produced such highly detailed work in revit!  (sorry for the Revit rant)  Great work!

Really? I've always had much better luck w/ modeling in 3D when it came to Revit, softplan seems a little lacking in that department.

If you really learn a software you can easily make it do things that a less experienced user will have trouble doing.
