We've got a new drawing for you. It's called Wall-Sink-DYNAMIC1.dwg, and you can download it from the library, as usual, to follow along with the videos. Now when you open it, you'll notice it's a blank drawing, but it's not blank in the background. We've got three blocks, regular AutoCAD blocks that we're going to bring in and make into one block. So, we're going to nest three regular AutoCAD blocks into a regular AutoCAD block. So, that's a regular, nested block, as you might use already in your AutoCAD work. Now, what we're going to do is each of those nested blocks is going to be given a visibility state, and you'll kind of see where we go with this as we work through this…
