Adding Floors
1 Click Modelling menu
➤
Floor, or on the Basics tab of the Design Bar, click Floor.
2 On the Design Bar, click Pick Walls.
TIP Using the Pick Walls command saves time if you want to align the floor to the walls.
To sketch the profile of the floor, click Lines, and then on the Options Bar, click Draw or Pick
Lines. Use the sketching tools to complete the sketch. See
Sketching on page 251.
The sketch must be closed. To create an opening in the floor, you can sketch another closed
profile where you want the opening to appear.
3 On the Options Bar, for Offset, specify an offset for the floor edges.
NOTE When you are using Pick Walls, select Extend into wall (to core) to measure the offset from
the wall's core.
4 On the Design Bar, click Finish Sketch.
Changing the Floor Type
To change the floor type in sketch mode:
1 While sketching a floor, on the Design Bar, click Floor Properties.
2 In the Element Properties dialog, for Type, select a floor type.
3 Click OK.
To change the floor type in a project view:
1 Select the floor in the project view.
Watch the tooltip and the status bar to be sure you select the floor, not another element. If
desired, you can use a filter to select the floor. See
Selecting Elements Using a Filter on page 271.
