Add and Define a Split Line

You can add a hole to an automatically generated floor, or define a different floor structure or surface material for a certain area by defining a split line for the floor. The split line can be an open or closed polyline.

Add the split line to the drawing-model pair containing the walls which automatically define the floor. Automatic rooms and floors are solved when the drawing-model pair in question is active.

1. Select Floors and Ceilings > Add and Define Split Line.
2. Select the line properties just as when adding a polyline.

5. Define the split line properties in the dialog box. The direction of the arrow in the floor plan indicates the area defined by the split line.
