Problem

What is the best practice or approach when setting up floors within Floor Manager and the column grid system?

Solution

The Floor Management toolbox is docked by default at the lower edge of the application window:

For buildings, floors, and reference planes:

Open the Floor Manager dialog via its icon (1). Using this dialog, changes will be made to the BB_Floormaster.dgnlib file. These will be available to any DGN file within the WorkSet.

The active floor can be selected using the Floor Selector (2).

For grids:

First, open the Grid Systems dialog (3). Here, the definitions are created accessible to any file within the project, but the Grid Models themselves are dynamically generated within design and drawing models.
