Procedure:
a. Using a 3D model create a section box
SHORTCUT: BX
b. To create similar doors and windows in a floor plan layout
SHORTCUT: CS
c. To reduce the thickness of lines visible in plan views
SHORTCUT: TL
d. To apply override settings to a floor in the model section view

Copied window
c. To reduce the thickness of lines visible in plan views
thin lines off
thin lines on using TL.
d. To apply override settings to a floor in the model section view
opening the section view
opening the visibility graphics using the VG command
inputting the overrides in the floor option
e. To increase the range of visibility in a plan view
f. To select the previously selected items
selecting and moving the bed
typing CTRL< to select the previous
g. To add annotations to the model views
h. To bring the model elements inline
Type AL. select the wall edge and then the cupboard edge to align it with the wall.
