Building
Module(s): Urban Planning
You can use the
Building tool to create buildings.
Note: Fills of buildings are always placed on top (i.e., in front of) other fills and thus hide them even if the Surface elements in background option is selected in
Show/Hide.
To create a building
- Click
Building (How). - Click Building Rep to specify a name for the building and to define how it is displayed.
- Click Story Def to define the individual stories of the building.
- Define the roof shape. The procedure is the same as for the
Roof Frame tool. - Enter the outline of the building if you have not yet done so.
Notes:
- Switch off the option in
Show/Hide if, in animated mode, for example, the colors of the roofs are to contrast with the building itself. - Click
Change Archit. Properties to change the representation of the building. - Click
Modify Building to modify the geometry and/or the properties of the building. - Click
Extend Building to add any extensions to the existing building. - Click
Delete Building Parts to delete a part of the building you added using
Extend Building.
