Work with several floors

A floorplan can have up to 10 floors, including up to five below ground. Each floor has its own rooms, ceiling height and wall thicknesses.

Add a floor#

1. Select Add floor.
2. Give it a Floor name.
3. Under Where it goes, choose Above the top floor, or Below the bottom floor for a basement.
4. Under Start with, choose A copy of the rooms on the current floor to save drawing the outline again, or An empty floor.
5. Select Add floor.

Copied rooms keep their shapes and ceiling heights but are named afresh (Room 7, Room 8 and so on). Doors and windows aren't copied.

Change the order#

1. Open the floor, with nothing selected, to see its panel.
2. Under Order of floors, select Move up or Move down.

The ground floor stays at ground level, so floors moved below it become basements.

See the next floor while you draw#

1. Turn on Show the next floor faintly, beside Snap to walls. It appears once the plan has two floors.
2. The floor below shows faintly under this one (for a basement, the floor above), with a label such as "Below: Ground floor".
3. With snapping on, walls you draw or drag line up with the faint floor's walls.

See them together#

Select 3D, then turn on All floors to see the floors stacked, basements below ground.
