Download your Architecture 1 group design from project Bluestreak. and save it in your student folder on the server. If you only have a DWF file, then save a copy of it and delete all drawings from it except the floor plan. Then open the Architecture Title Sheet file that is located on the U:\ drive. Insert the DWF file as an underlay reference. Draw your walls, doors and windows over the overlay in the correct layers. Save the file as your new project file.

Click on "Read more" to see the sample CAD layer names and which items go on those layers.

As a result of the Project evaluations, Light Study and your research into the "Not So Big House" movement make changes to the floor plan that you feel will improve the house. Now is a good time to correct errors from the last submission.

Any changes that you make should be annotated as a change to the original. Draw a revision cloud (it's in the DRAW toolbar) around the change and number the change. This should be annotated in the revisions box of the title bar.

Update your title bar information
