Danke für den Tip. Bisher hab ich dwg auch in einer eigenen Datei geöffnet und ersteinmal die Ebenen "aufgeräumt", Dann als Zeichnung platziert.

super das ist doch perfekt

[@tolulopehenry3668]

Thanks for the tutorial. But I tried your step and I wasn't able to edit the file. What do you suggest can be done about that?

[@ASMTechbase]

Hi, can you explain what you mean with not able to edit the file? Like the dwg you imported ?

What is your workflow with a split level floor plan?

[@ASMTechbase]

This is a good question and not easy to answer. For me it depends on the split level difference. Anything less then 1500 mm I do on the same story level using symbolic cut for windows and doors that are " out of the cut plane height zone " If it goes over 1500 mm I draw the split level on the next story but call the story like: Level 1 and the split level story - Level 1 Split.
Then on the layout pages I put them together ( level 1 and Level 1 Split ) like where the split is so it looks like one floor plan. Bit hard to explain just in words but I hope you understand what I mean. To be honest not sure if this the best way as I don't do many split homes, so my experience in this is limited.

@@ASMTechbase Thank you. I've been working with ArchiCAD since version 7 and split level has always been a problem. I'll give it a try. Greetings from Germany.
