LESSON B4

Unit templates

What you'll learn: laying out one apartment unit and stamping it across the building — the multifamily workflow.

Video coming soon — the written steps below cover everything.

The multifamily problem

A 200-unit building has maybe six unique unit plans. Laying out heads 200 times is not design — it's copying. Unit templates make the copy explicit.

Using templates

  1. Lay out one unit the careful way — heads, spacing, coverage verified.
  2. Save it as a unit template.
  3. Stamp the template onto every matching unit across the plan — rotated and mirrored versions included, so the B-unit reversed layouts place correctly.
  4. Edit the odd unit after stamping when the field conditions differ.
Trust but verify: the coverage shading stays live over stamped units — a unit that got mirrored against an unexpected wall shows its gap immediately.
