Title: Copy & Paste a house room from one project file to another
Post by: TNMan on December 19, 2023, 04:26:18 PM
Hello,
 I just upgraded to Floorplan 2022 Home and Landscape Pro (with CWSPro & Lux) from TurboFloorPlan Home and Landscape Pro 2017 and I started a project. I have another older project file I created in the 2017 version and wanted to know if I can import some of the data (a room) I created into the new project file.

Thank you

Hello,

Yes, indeed.
Step 1 - Open the 2017 file => select the elements you wish to copy => Edit => Copy
Step 2 - Open the 2022 file -> Edit => Paste => move the elements as desired.

Hope this helps.

I have another question.

I'm starting a design with home that will have exterior 2x6" stud walls with brick siding including air gap. Should I set wall thickness to include the brick and air gap or is this added when I apply siding?

Thank

Depends of your goals and precision settings.

FloorPlan, as any program, has a learning curve. The best way to learn the program, IMO, is practice + practice + practice => Read, search and follow the User Guide (this is important) => try to create elements not related with your project, so you will become familiar with the commands and how to manage the different components.
If you are interested, my eBook for FP V2022 for Windows (https://www.punchhelpers.com/version-2022-windows.html)  includes the all the features, lots of tutorials, screen guides, tables, examples, rendering results as well as images.

Hope this helps.
