Let's give that a go. Now I've opened up the DWG that has some layers already defined but I got a warning it says elements significant buildings encountered missing the source drawings. So that means I have to make sure that the source drawings are attached. So I open up the map explore and I'm going to drag and drop buildings and streets into my task pane, make sure they're using exercise files, that's the alias I predefined.
