Modelling – Floors, Columns and Beams
the floor by picking an existing
structural support, such as a
beam).
Once these sub elements are
placed, their height relative to
the top of the floor can be
vertically manipulated.
The fourth option is a Reset
Shape which removes all sub
elements and reverts the floor
to its original state.
The image right, indicates the
altered floor with a uniform
thickness.
Should a variable height be
required (such as for a screed),
the variable checkbox needs to
be checked
Note: there can be only one
variable layer per floor
Should the need arise, a
complex floor can always be
created using an in-place
component (too many of these
can be detrimental to the
model - USE SPARINGLY)
