Trying to come up with a procedure for a set of remodel drawings.
In Chief, there's just one .plan file, but a set of remodel drawings will have:
- Demolition Plan - existing walls to remain and walls to be demolished; cabinets, fixtures, appliances to be removed. I don't think an Existing Floor Plan makes much sense--it should be clear from the Demo plan.
- Floor Plan - existing and new walls. Everything demolished is gone. New work is dimensioned, but we only need overall dimensions of existing house for reference. We may have a situation where an existing wall gets new siding--that'll be interesting.
- Foundation Plan - existing and new foundation walls. Most projects won't need a Foundation Demolition Plan; it's implied if you're removing walls. Only new work is dimensioned.
- Roof Plan (1/8") - new and existing
- Electrical Plan - existing and new electrical (lights and outlets, primarily)
- Floor Finish Plan - existing and new floor finishes
- Reflected Ceiling Plan - existing and new. (Not sure how to do this, but I bet Chief can do it.)
- Site Demolition Plan (1/8") - remove driveway, new grading, etc.
- Site Plan (1/8") - new and existing elements
- Landscaping Plan - new and existing trees, plants, hardscape
- The elevations and sections will want to make a distinction between existing and new work.
New: Blue poche (171 181 255)
Existing: Grey poche (227 227 227) and no layers (no wallboard). "Walls, Layers" is a layer--how confusing--so we need to
Demo walls: Red polylines filled with faint red poche
Need a Walls, Demo layer--color: red (FF0000), line style: dashed
Need a Walls, New layer (maybe just keep Walls, Normal)
Need a Walls, Existing layer
