Height

Tools: Structural Framing Column + Structural Framing Beam

Open the Structural framing column or Structural framing beam palette and click to define the height of the structural framing object.

You can define the height as follows:

• As an absolute value (relative to the datum) with
• Relative to a plane or reference surface:
  
  Click the Select reference plane button and select the plane, reference surface or roof surface that you want to use to define the Height. When the project has a building structure and a plane model, you can select from all available planes, reference surfaces, roof surfaces and roofscapes.
  Click Restore basic settings to use the upper and lower default planes of the current drawing file.
  • Relative to a default plane with or
  • Relative to a custom plane with or
  • Relative to a local reference surface with or
  • Relative to a roof surface with or
  • With a building structure and plane model: Relative to a reference surface in the plane model with or
• In conjunction with an inclined reference element (for example, a custom plane, reference surface, roof surface or existing element), you can specify how Allplan is to interpret the offset to this reference element:
  • Click Offset (perpendicular) to apply the offset so that is perpendicular to the reference element or
  • Click Offset (vertical) to apply the vertical value.
• As a maximum component height with
• By adapting the component's top level to the upper plane with

Tip: You can see height of the default planes in the preview as an aid to orientation.

Note: The component height is based on the planes or surfaces assigned. If you have not assigned a plane or surface to the top level of the component, the component height is governed by the reference planes in the following order: custom plane, roof plane, default planes.
