Height Level References in Project Parameters

You can create references to the height levels in project parameters to have changes in height levels update the project parameters. The parameters are defined in the PARAMETERS file which is located in the project folder. Editing the PARAMETERS file is the system administrator's task.

3D Levels

You can create a reference to a height level with the ZLEV label. For example, defining the base height of a floor:

ZMASTER "#P~ZLEV;FLOOR-1#"

ZMASTER = Floor base height label
ZLEV = Reference to height levels
FLOOR-1 = Height level label

You can use height levels, for example, in the definitions of the following parameters:

• Floor base height ZMASTER

  ZMASTER "#P~ZLEV;FLOOR-1#"

• Room height ROOM_HEIGHT

  ROOM_HEIGHT "#P~ZLEV;CEILING-1#-#P~CEIL_FR_THCK#-#P~ZLEV;FLOOR-1#"

• Default bottom height of a column COLUMN_GZ

  COLUMN_GZ "#P~ZLEV;FLOOR-1#"

• Column length COLUMN_L

  COLUMN_L "#P~ZLEV;CEILING-1#-#P~ZLEV;FLOOR-1#"

• Beam default height BEAM_Z

  BEAM_Z "#P~ZLEV;CEILING-1#-#P~ZLEV;FLOOR-1#"

• Stair default height STAIRS_HEIGHT

  STAIRS_HEIGHT "#P~ZLEV;FLOOR-2#-#P~ZLEV;FLOOR-1#"

• Exterior wall frame height WALL_EXT_H

  WALL_EXT_H "#P~ZLEV;CEILING-1#-#P~WALL_EXT_B_H#-#P~ZLEV;FLOOR-1#"

• Interior wall frame height WALL_INT_H

  WALL_INT_H "#P~ZLEV;CEILING-1#-#P~WALL_INT_B_H#-#P~ZLEV;FLOOR-1#"

Note

• When a height level exists in the PARAMETERS file, it is reserved for use in the project. A height level in use cannot be renamed nor deleted in the 3D Levels dialog box.
