First of all thanks for video. Second One at 17:50 when I changed to Kitchen and Bath plan View - all dimensions which I've made were still there. I don't understand why. I did exactly as you in this video. All other things work fine.

Hi Scott

A few years ago you did a Tutorial on how to create a Property Brochure, for an Agent who wants to showcase a house FOR SALE.

You did the floor plan and then indicated/demonstrated how the 3d model could be overlaid as a watermark on the floor layout.

Please post a link to that video.

Thank you

Second Floor Question: I am designing and building a 2 story home with several elevation changes and several "open to below" rooms very similar to my home now. What is the best way to build this type of floorplan? Should I create the first floor with all the room set with a ceiling height of 12-feet and then build the second floor and select and create the spaces that I want to "open to below", or should I create the first floor plan with the spaces that I want a 24-foot ceiling on the first floor plan? My thought on this is that if I create the high ceiling areas on the first floor the framing material will be 24-foot continuous, and if I create a second floor that is "open to below" the framing material might call out 12-feet upon 12-feet to get the desired height. Furthermore every time I change a exterior wall on the 24-foot areas, the first floor will show finished drywall as well as the exterior of the second floor. If I change the second floor exterior to a exterior siding, it changes the first floor drywall to exterior siding. There must be a simple answer to this problem.
