Height Level References in Building Parameters

You can create references to the height levels in building parameters to have changes in height levels update the building parameters. The parameters are defined in the PARAMETERS file which is located in the building 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#"
