This is the most frequent use case for an

element. A generic element, like a bath-

reference an element into a construct

room layout, is referenced into a specific

construct, like a floor plan. For more inform-

ation, see Referencing Elements into Con-

structs on page 398 and Referencing an

Element into Multiple Constructs on page

400.

For example, if you want to have different

elements for single cubicles—a 4-cubicle

reference an element into another element

group, you could create an element for one

cubicle, and reference that 4 times into the

4-cubicle group element. For more inform-

ation, see Referencing an Element into An-

other Element on page 426.

You can directly reference an element into

a sheet. This can be useful for title block

elements.
