I work for a production builder, and we typically design one floor plan with three different elevations. Every seminar i have ever been to has said that elevations are too big to do in design options. Is there a way to have one floor plan with three differnt elevations in the same drawing. Are elevations really too big for design options. I have done a plan with three elevations in design options but it was kinda worthless because the walls which were in the primary design option would not connect to the roof which was in the secondary design option. My problem is that when i have three separate drawings and i want to move an outlet or revise engineering i have to do it three times, and if someone else updates it and forgets to update all three plans, the change is lost to the other plans. I need a way to refernce the floor plan to the other elevations, without haveing three separate drawing files. Does anyone have a similar problem and found away to get around it?

I'm in a similar pickle and have begrudgingly admitted that design options have their limit of effectiveness. There is a point where your modifications for each elevation affect so much of the model that it becomes more trouble than it's worth. Not that it can't be done but you have to weigh the benefits. For now i suggest you resign yourself to how it used to be and follow those procedures. As you already know, before you start copying the file for the various elevations, make that file as close to perfect as you can so the modifications/revisions down the road are minimal X3. I haven't installed 2008 yet due to the lack of mirror project function but it may have some features that allow active linking or grouping that might somehow help. Maybe someone else can shed some light on that.
