[If you work with templates for copying to other levels you can also think about having a second project with only the templates. Make one template level the only visible one, Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C, and paste in the production project. This limits the number of levels/tabs in each project and makes traversing easier.
Excellent. I'd already loosely formed that idea but putting it into practice will definitely help my tired eyes.
That can be solved by giving the levels/tabs names that makes sense for the level. One method I use is "0[250]" where 0 is the level elevation and 250 is the height. That is particularly useful when you have multiple levels with different heights. Sometimes I split the furniture from the actual plan and add a level at the same elevation naming it "0[250]F". For me that's an easy way to identify the level and it's furniture level. For template levels you could use something like "Walls1", "Walls2", "Foundation1", "Damp1". Optionally extended with the elevation/height numbers.
Yes, i'll definitely have to work on an internal brain map to make a simplified naming convention which means, to provide my own context, the same as, for example, this:
"11 ACTUAL FRONT OUTER CAVITY WALL(ELEV 150) TO TOP REAR FOUND (@915)"
Try to keep the tab names as short as possible to avoid too many rows of tabs.
My new mapping should not be too difficult to "internalise" - alittle thought needed to change existing before drawing again though
Thanks for the great pointers - much appreciated.
I think I can still imagine how tabbing through the levels could, sometimes, be useful, if it was available, though.
