Different floor heights in a house

Post by Sandra36 »

I would like to have a lower floor height in the basement, an overheight in the ground floor and a normal height in the other floors. I've tried a lot, but whenever I change the height of a floor, i.e. the height of the walls, I have a distance to the next floor or overlap the floors.
I also tried to change the height of the standard wall without success. How do I create different floor heights correctly or how can I change them afterwards?

Study how you can create levels. Each level can be set to a different height above (or below) the ground, and the height of the level can be set as well.

Hi Sandra
What you need to understand is that the elevation of each levels consists of the wall height plus the floor thickness of the level above.
Here is an example

To access the window to modify the levels right click on the level tab, top left, you can only modify the level you choose.
In the example i chose a basement wall height of 2200 mm just to show a difference, you can see the wall height + floor thickness = elevation. Another item to note is that by default level 0 has a floor thickness of 0, if you add a level below it, its thickness will change to the thickness determined in "preferences".
Here are 2 youtube links that may also help.

Good luck and welcome to the forum.
