    Tips and methods to optimize creating plans for multi-story buildings in Autocad

    @Eng16080 Thanks for the response. I never thought about working from the paper space viewport, that makes a lot more sense rather than switching between layer states in model space while working on a jumbled drawing covering multiple floors.

    I drive under this on my way to work every day and have always been curious about it. My boss told me, at the time this bridge was built, these were the deepest wide-flange girders in the world (or maybe it was just the U.S.?). At first, I thought it was just the bridge above me casting a wavy...
