Now, the whole idea here is we're taking information out of the ProjectModel.dwg file and putting each of the bits of information into separate drawings or constructs. If you were creating a multi-story building what you would do is you'd have constructs for each level. So, you'd have a ground floor construct, a first floor, and so on. Unless, of course, if you're in America where you don't have a ground floor, you have a floor one, a floor two, a floor three.

However, sometimes you might want new constructs at different levels. So, if I go to constructs here in the constructs tab in the project…
