For the last year I have been using AutoCad 2006 for various drawings both in 2D and 3D… but now i’m trying to construct an apartment building using architectural desktop features…

I have been reading the manual for quite some time now, but i have been unable to figure out what is the difference between constructs/divisions/elements… why do i need them ?

I simply want to draw different floors and then assemble them together… but should each new floor be in an new view or in a new construct or whatever…
