I installed SD 3 to day.
SD3 was presented as an upgrade to RSD 2.5.
I thought it was just opening the project from RSD 2.5, continue working, not totally redesign the entire project ...

I have 2 columns in RSD 2.5 design. 1 on the left with simpel meny, just a boxes with URL. Column 2 is the main on the right. Opening project from RSD 2.5 in SD3 shows 1 column, with the menu on top.

I can not find how to create 2 columns, side by side, of different sizes.

Hey there!

Check out this article I wrote about moving the project tho V3.

Converting older projects to Grid:

Thanks, I will look in to it

Row and columns are still there to use for nesting. In the Layout classes there is row and then all the column choices for instance in Foundation "medium-6". Two medium-6 Container Div will start as full 100% span below the medium breakpoint and then 50% span each above the medium breakpoint.

If I am not correct the purpose of Grid is to allow you to design in a much time saving manner then the above method. But the choice is still up to the designer.....you can still design with rows and columns. Right ?

By the way separating the Layout classes from the Foundation (or Bootstrap) classes was brilliant. And the cool tab slider handle on the view-port is awesome !

I agree, it has helped me when converting some projects too!

I will be downloading SD3 later today BUT question I have is: I have a site made using RSD1.5 since this is coffee grinder and I install SD3 my RSD1.5 project will still be separate and can open by it self and not in SD 3 ??

Hello Ray,

The cool thing about the Grid Layout in Site Designer V3 is that you can now also upgrade your V1 projects! The workflow is largely the same as I mentioned here.

Upon the 1st save there is also an backup created of your V1 project so you can continue to update that until you feel comfortable with the work done in V3

As always, if you need help with the conversion, there are plenty of people very capable of doing that (for a small fee).

Hello Bob, Thanks for replying so fast! I just want to make sure if and when I download the new SD 3.0 AP I can still use my old RSD 1.5 with no problems? I read on another post from Suzanne that 2.5 and 3.0 are separate AP's and each one can be opened with no problems so that is also the same with my RSD 1.5 correct.? In other words I can keep on working with my 1.5 project and than also open 3.0 at same time to begin a new project?
Once again thanks to all at CC for continuing the updates and new software and most important of all great CC customer service!

Ray, read what I wrote here:

Mind you, I haven't read the article Bob mentions yet...

Yes, you can run V1 and V3 at the same time. Or V2 and V3. Just not V1 and V2



Thanks Ray, we appreciate it!
