# New Feature: Import Design

Reusing geometry across projects is now significantly easier with the new Import Design feature.

### How to Import a Design

In the Building app, click the plus symbol in the top left corner and select Import Design. This opens a list of all Designs available within your Team. Select the Design you want to import, and it will be brought into your current project complete with Drawings, Levels, and Site Shading.

Once imported, you may notice the drawing appears with a different level assignment. Simply delete the original drawing (for example, Ground) and assign the imported drawing to the appropriate levels.

### Key Benefits

This feature eliminates the need to contact the support team when switching between building code versions. To migrate a design, simply create a new project with the updated building code and import your existing design. This saves time for both users and the support team by removing the manual process of transferring designs between code versions.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.betterbuilding.io/sign-up-and-plans/news-and-updates/2026/new-feature-import-design.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
