Split levels and half floors

· 1 min read

A floor with its own floor level, such as a half level at +1.40 m next to the ground floor. A stair links the two levels, and every level is its own storey in the area and the volume.

The menu of a half level with Own floor level ticked and the floor level +1.40 m, next to the plan.
  1. 1. Add the floor

    Add a floor with Add floor in the list at the top of the left panel, and draw its walls where the half level is.

  2. 2. Give it its own level

    Go to that floor, click This floor in the left panel and tick Own floor level (split level). Type the Floor level, for example +1.40 m. This level no longer moves with the floors below or above.

  3. 3. Link a stair

    Choose the stair and pick Goes to: the half level. The stair height becomes the difference in floor level and follows it when a level moves. The stairwell goes on the floor the stair goes up to.

  4. 4. What counts

    Each level is a storey of its own. The gross volume of a level runs to the first level above it in the plan, so a half level next to it does not cut the room below short.
