Storeys...

The Storeys... section displays existing storeys. Clicking the Storeys ... button opens the Storey table dialog where you can parameterize the storeys and import storey data.

Architecture settings

This command is only available in the planning types 3D - Model planning and 2.5D - Model planning.

In the section Architecture settings you can define settings for the use of architectural objects.

Rectangular room

Draws a rectangular room in the drawing. The dimensions can either be entered in the input field or picked from the drawing.

Walls <

The command Walls allows you to draw single-shell or double-shell interior and exterior walls in 2D and 3D mode. Determine the wall thickness(es) and, if necessary, the wall height in advance.

Ceiling <

This command is only available in the planning types 3D - Model planning and 2.5D - Model planning.

The command Ceiling can be used to draw a ceiling on a room by determining the corner points. First, determine the ceiling height, then draw the ceiling by determining the corner points.

Columns <

The command Columns < allows you to draw individual columns, but also arrangements of columns at the current construction height.

Joist <

The command Joist allows you to draw a joist with freely defined dimensions at the current construction height.

Foundation

The command Foundation allows you to draw a foundation as a rectangular panel with freely definable dimensions. You can draw the foundation on all storeys and thus, for example, create a floor slab on the 1st storey.

Chimney <

The command Chimney allows you to draw a chimney with definable dimensions in front of a wall or other positions.

Ceiling grid <

This command is only available in the planning types 3D - Model planning and 2.5D - Model planning.

The command Ceiling grid < allows you to draw ceiling grids with a specified width. The ceiling grid is inserted into the drawing as a block.

Tiles <

This command is only available in the planning types 3D - Model planning and 2.5D - Model planning.

You can use the Tile < command to tile the surfaces of a component (e.g. a wall or floor).

Assign material <

This command is only available in the planning types 3D - Model planning and 2.5D - Model planning.

You can use the Assign material < command to assign a material to the surfaces of a component (e.g. a wall or floor).

Connect walls <

This command is only available in the planning types 3D - Model planning and 2.5D - Model planning.

In some situations, generating walls when importing IFC files can lead to open wall ends. Rooms that are not completely enclosed by walls cannot be correctly identified during the room search of the building detection. The Check open wall ends command locates these spots. The gaps created by open wall ends may be closed by using the Connect walls < command.
