Laying Out and Editing the Example Profiles for the Project

Additional Exercise;

In this exercise, you were given very specific instructions for laying out and editing the example profiles for the project. This is necessary for a learning environment so that your results are predictable and understood.

Now that you have been exposed to methods for creating profiles, creating profile views, editing profiles, and ensuring proper design, you can use what you’ve learned to create the remaining design profiles for the project. In the exercise that follows, you will not be given specific instructions but more generalized tasks to complete your design. This is a much better representation of how design takes place in a real production environment.

Open the drawing named All Profiles.dwg located in the Chapter 07 class data folder. Complete the following steps to create profiles for Madison Lane and Logan Court:
