Hi
Yesterday I thought of a simple trick to make an elevated floor, for a porch, a split-level room, or something similar.
1 - Make sure you have the plug-in CopyAsNewFurniture installed (PDF)
2 - Draw your room or house
3 - Apply your floors and give them a texture; if you need to elevate only part of the floor in a room, make sure to design the floor in two separate parts
4 - Insert a (invisible) box in your room and give it a dimension of 1x1x1 cm (or smaller) and place it in a corner where you can't see it
5 - Select the floor you want to elevate AND the box you inserted
6 - Choose Tools --> Copy as new furniture
7 - Choose Paste and the new floor will be inserted exactly on top of the old floor (with an elevation of 0.1)
8 - Delete the old floor
9 - Reposition the new floor and give it the correct elevation (in step 7 write down the coordinates of the inserted floor, and you can reposition it at the exact same spot)
10 - You can now place all your furniture on the new, elevated floor.
Succes!
