Referencing in the structural drawing

- We're now going to start looking at referencing in our structural drawing into our facilities management drawing, our FM drawing. You can see in the 00_GND tab here that I've got a proprietary title block all set up. I'll go back to the Model tab now, make sure I took on Model, and we're gonna bring the structural drawing, the GA, the 00_GND of GA drawing into our Model tab like so. Before we do so, just jump to the Layers panel in the Home tab and make sure you're on Layer zero. We'll just drop it in on layer zero for now. And then we're gonna go to the Insert tab on the ribbon, and we're going to go to the Reference Panel, and click on Attach. Now, this will take me to the folder where my drawings are stored. You may need to go and look for you 00_GND_GA drawing. So I'm gonna select it there, click on Open. That'll open up the Attach External Reference dialogue box, or "Ex-Ref" as they're known, and I'm gonna bring this in just as it is. It's gonna be a Reference-type attachment…
