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.
Height 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.
