cadmovie773 – Setting up Layers and Stories for Buildings – Part 1
What Are Stories? – Stories is a way to control the layers that make up a building, grouping design layers together into levels of the building. They make it easy to adjust the elevations of all the levels of of the building, because Vectorworks knows how the stories relate to each other.

You should use Stories to control the elevation heights, design layers for modeling, and classes to control the visibility and graphic style of an object. If you are not familiar with layers and classes, please refer to the Vectorworks Essential Manual, which has a series of exercises to explain these. Classes have not changed with the new Stories concept.
