Floor management

Hello Richard,

Thanks for your question.
You could use "Clip Volume" tools to isolate the floor. I've pasted a link of "Clip Volume" help page.

That worked-thank you.  However, I have found difficulty adding lines to that clipped view even though I am working on the floor included in that clipped view.  Walls added show, lines do not.  What could cause that?  Is the set-up clipped view saved with the file?  I guess a separate clipped view for each floor.  This is a strange way to do this.  It seems that this would work much better if a view of a floor could be displayed through the floor manager just by selecting the floor to be viewed and turning the others off, like control of layers.

Hi Richard,

Would the Isolate Active Floor tool do what you need?
