Constrain 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.

  1. Do one of the following:
    • When you are adding a wall, a building component or a railing, select Select height from the auxiliary menu.
    • When you are adding a beam or a column, select Parameters from the auxiliary menu.

    The Select Height with 3D Levels dialog box opens.

  2. Select the locating height in the dialog box.

    Select Height Using 3D Levels

  3. 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.
