Description

The plugin performs the creation of Floors. Can choose how to define the rooms for the Floor construction: automatically or manually. And it is also possible to filter the rooms depending on the value of the parameters.

Using

CONFIGURATIONS

The plugin dialog window:

It is necessary to press . A configuration is added to create the floor. There can be several such configurations. To delete a configuration, press .

Badge  shows that the Floor type is not set and the configuration cannot be processed.

It is possible to use the Element filter  to select the rooms.

In the Floor Type setting, choose an floor type from the drop-down list, which contains all the existing floor types in the project:

Height offset from Level allows you to offset the floor relative to the level. The value can be either positive or negative.

The button  allows you to set the thickness value of the selected Floor type with "+" sign in the field.

Height offset from Level 0 mm:

Height offset from Level -250 mm:

The next property allows you to specify the options for placing the floor contour into the doorways. The following options are available from the drop-down list:

• Do not lead Floor contour into door openings
• Lead the contour to the middle of the wall
• Lead the contour to the full of the wall
• Lead the contour to the specified value, mm

Copy parameter value (from room to floor) option is available below. Pressing the button again adds additional fields and allows you to set several parameter values:

If several floor configurations are specified, the individual configuration can be moved in the list by dragging it with the left mouse button.

At the bottom of the plugin window, two options are available, which are set for all configurations at once:

When leading the floor to the doorways to the full wall width consider the main room: If door leads to exit/If door leads to entrance - allows you to specify which of the two connecting rooms will be the main (exiting or entering) and the floor in the doorway will be created only for this room. This option works even if only one of the adjacent rooms is selected.

Cut solid door geometry from floor contour - if checked, solid door geometry will be cut from the floor contour:

Making a floor with different settings using two adjacent rooms as an example:

If select Do not lead Floor contour into door openings, the floor is built strictly on the contour of the room, so the doorways in the room will remain unfilled:

If select Lead the contour to the middle of the wall, the floor will be making to the middle of the wall in the doorways:

If select Lead the contour to the full of the wall and check Cut solid door geometry from floor contour, then the floor will be made full wall thickness in the doorways and the solid door geometry will be cut from the floor contour:

If you take adjacent rooms that share a doorway and in the option When leading the floor to the doorways to the full wall width consider the main room to choose If door leads to entrance, the floor in the doorway will refer to the room into which the door opens:

If select Lead the contour to the specified value, mm, you can specify how much the floor will be brought to the doorway:

CREATION OPTIONS

When click the Create button, there are three options for creating a floor:

• By Rooms on View
• By picked Rooms
• Be pre-selected Rooms (number of rooms)

The option By picked Rooms will allow you to apply the marked configurations only to those rooms that we will select ourselves. Next, you must select the rooms in which you want to build the floor. After selecting the rooms, to complete the construction you must click "Finish"

The option By Rooms on View will allow applying the marked configurations to all rooms on the active view. The floor will be built on the contours of all rooms that are on the plan.

The option Be pre-selected Rooms. To be able to select this variant, select the rooms before running the plugin.

CREATE SOME NUMBER OF LAYERS

It is possible to create more than one floor configuration, allowing you to create a multi-layered floor pie:

This configuration will result in a floor that consists of several layers. Each layer is a separate element. If the offset is correctly specified, the floor will be built over the floor slab.

When building a multilayer floor, for a layer you must specify an offset from the level equal to the sum of the thicknesses of the previous layers and the thickness of the current layer, as the thickness of the layer is set aside down.

When creating a floor below the level, a value with a negative sign should be specified.
