Details on "General Data on: Storey" and "Storey Data"

Information about the General tab at the storey level of the building structure and the Storey Data dialog.

For a storey, besides the number, abbreviation and name, the storey height, ceiling thickness and parapet height are also used as default values for rooms. If required, you can adjust the preset values in the General Data for: Storey or in the dialog Storey Data

Area: "General data on: Storey” in LINEAR Building

Number

Is used to identify the structural level and simultaneously for sorting in the tree structure. The number may only appear once on the respective structural level.

Short desc.

The short description can contain a text and/or a variable. Available variables:
  • one to three digit numbers
  • Numbers and abbreviations of superordinate levels
In the corresponding context menu, predefined variables are () available for selection.

Name

Free text to be entered for this structural level.

Storey Dimensions

Ceiling Thickness: The thickness of the storey ceiling in meters.

Storey Height: Height of the storey in meters. This value is also used for vertical room components such as walls. Modifications in the storey height have an effect on all affected room components of the storey.

Parapet Height: Parapet height of this storey in meters. The value entered here is taken as the initial value for the parapet height in the rooms on this storey and specifies the height of the radiators in the radiator dimensioning, assuming no deviating settings have been made in the Model Options.

Floor Structure: The height of the finished floor above the top edge of the unfinished floor. If you have detected the building from CAD and a floor structure has been defined in the Storeys dialog in CAD, the detected value is displayed here. The value can be changed or entered manually if required. A manually changed value is displayed in bold. Click on to reset it to the entered value. This value influences the clear distance to the parapet height and therefore the height of the radiators in the radiator design.

Height above Ground: Height of the storey above ground level in meters. This value can only be entered for storey number 0, which is usually the ground floor. Based on this value, the building height is calculated by adding the heights of the remaining storeys. You can also enter a negative value. On all other storeys, the height above ground level is displayed as a read-only field, showing the calculated height of the storey floor above ground level.

For buildings created from AutoCAD, the height above ground level is calculated by subtracting the ground level height above 0 specified in the Storeys dialog from the height of the ground floor above 0.
