Constraining a Building Component to a Height Level
When you add a building component to a model, you can choose the
height level to which you wish to constrain the component, and
define an offset from the height level, if necessary.
- Do one of the following:
- When you are adding a wall, a macro component or a railing,
select
Select height from the contextual
toolbar.
- When you are adding a beam or a column, select
Parameters from the contextual toolbar.
The Select Height with 3D Levels dialog box opens.
- Select the locating height in the dialog box.
Select
Height Using 3D Levels
- Confirm by clicking OK.
Note
- If you do not choose a height level, the program will
automatically constrain the added building component to the nearest
height level. Later, you can change the height level or define an
offset for the building component in relation to the height
level.
- Constraining a building component to a height level does not
prevent moving the component in vertical direction in the model.
When you move a building component, its offset in relation to the
height level receives a new value, but the constraint to the height
level remains.
