It took me awhile yesterday to remember that I had to be in DD to do what I wanted to do, but figured it out. At first i used the immeidtly above/below option, but sense then have used the coordinate system to locate. So far, I think I have it right.</DIV>

<DIV>Get to the DD Wizard, which will allow you to draw your individual floors. I would advise using the coordinate system on Page 1 for locating the various floors over each other.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Another trick. Before you set the building in its true compass direction orientation, keep the Building North to the top of the page. The X, Y, and Z coordiantes will locate easier in this frame of reference. THEN rotate the entire structure.</DIV>
