Top floor walls / doors

The visibility of storeys is set in Storeys manager. From the context menu (right-click), for the individual storeys you can switch between visible and invisible.

Inner walls must not intersect! This leads to errors in the room calculation. Stop the second wall and start a new wall on the opposite side.

Workshop

You've already got enough experience with drawing to be able to create the walls and doors on the top floor by yourself.

1. Draw the top floor walls in accordance with the following figure.
2. Use the same settings as in the ground floor for the doors in the top floor.
3. . For the sake of clarity, the ground floor can be switched to invisible or visible again. To do so, right-click on the ground floor and select the appropriate option.

The inner walls of the basement storey are arranged in a similar way to those on the top floor.

Workshop

2. Select the function COPY INTO ACTIVE STOREY.
   
   
3. Switch to the solid model ++ctrl+D++ and rotate the model in 3D.

The wall thickness of the outside wall in the basement must be corrected to 25 cm and the material changed to concrete.

1. Switch only the basement to visible.
   Double-click on "BA".

   
   

2. Click on the outer wall and in the property bar switch to the record Concrete and set the wall thickness to 25 cm.
   
   
3. The wall thickness must be retained in the area near the staircase. So that a different wall thickness can be assigned to one part of the wall, the wall must be divided in this area.
   Under the change functions, select the function DIVIDE WALL at the end of the property bar.
   
   Since this is a closed wall, two partition points must be specified. For the partition points, click on the points P1 and P2.

Foundation slab with projection

Workshop

2. Select the function CREATE SLAB.
   
   
3. Switch to the type Foundation. This type has the attribute Fundamentplatte.
   
   The Foundation parameter is saved with a thickness of 25 cm. Since the foundation was only specified at 20 cm at the start of the project, a decision must be made as to whether the thickness of the parameter should be changed (option: Change to storey level) or whether the parameter should be adjusted automatically (option: Adjust automatically). Adjust automatically means that the program deletes the lowest 5 cm of the parameterised layer structure.
   Select Adjust automatically.
