Discover the final stages of creating a full interior design set for a residential remodel, covering everything from finalizing elevations to ensuring all elements are correctly placed and displayed. Learn the importance of cleaning up your drawings, verifying the sheet index, and verifying that all elements are correctly represented in the proposed plans.
Key Insights
- The final stages of a residential remodel involve deleting original work used for creating kitchen elevations and cleaning the drawing to ensure smooth navigation and visualization.
- It is crucial to verify that the sheet index looks good, and that there are no misplaced items within the floor plan. This includes freezing certain layers within the viewport to ensure clarity.
- The final drawn plans should show the new layout for the home, with everything else hidden. This includes a proposed plan, schedules, a furniture plan, and detailed kitchen elevations.

Congratulations on getting to this point. It's pretty huge. You've created a full interior design set for a residential remodel project.
Let's go ahead and put the final polish on our set. Number one, all of our original work we did for those kitchen elevations can be deleted now because we've created our full final elevations. So don't delete the full and final ones, but do delete our work.
We can delete that and it just cleans up our drawing a little bit more. Let's do zoom and then e for extents, and we can make sure there's nothing else floating around in our drawing. We should have the first floor plan, second floor plan, and our kitchen elevations off to the side.
We don't want to move anything at this point because it would move it on the sheets, so we'll leave everything where it is. Now let's peruse each sheet and make sure everything is in place. I0, look through and make sure the sheet index looks good.
I1, we want to make sure there's nothing in this floor plan that shouldn't be showing. For example, I'm going to double click and go to layer. For example, if we had one of our eye layers turned on, like eye fern, loose, if that were unfrozen, we'd want to freeze it in the viewport only, just to make sure it looks good here.

We also want to double click outside of our viewport, make sure it's all in paper space and everything is clean. I2 should look like this. This is our proposed plan.
It shows the new layout for the home and everything else is hidden. I3 holds our schedules. Make sure those are okay.
All the text is on the page and flowing nicely. Then we have our furniture plan with all of our furniture turned on. And then finally, I5, which are our awesome kitchen elevations.
