How can I move a drawing created on a layer to Building Options?

All the components can be edited to change the BUILDING OPTIONS the same as editing the LAYER

Thanks Keith.

 

So just to be clear, I have to edit each component that I want to move from a Layer to a Building Option…I can't cut and paste or assign a Building Option?

It looks that way, but is not as bad as it seems.

 

You can use GROUP SELECTION to select all the LIKE items, so depending on the complexity of your drawings there may not be too many groups. You just can't invoke EDIT on multiple groups, only individual groups can use EDIT & REPEAT, so you should be able to do ALL OPENINGS etc. in one operation.

 

You can also use REPEAT EDIT, but that may be slower.

If you edit any one item to the Building Option that you want, you can then do a Repeat Edit box around everything else that you want to be on that Building Option and it will change any and all items to that Building Option

Duh! ... Didn't think about the "Repeat Edit Box (or Polygon)" it's an item I've never had occasion to use. Good catch Phil.
