Split and Lower

Task area Roof

You can use this tool to lower a part of the bottom plane (the floor) in one or more roof frames and thus create a split-level plan.

To split and lower a part of the bottom plane in a roof frame

1. Click Split and Lower (How).
   

   Activate Split and Lower in one of the following ways

   • Actionbar:Role Architecture Task Elements Task area Roof

   • Menu bar: Change Architecture General: Roofs, Planes, Sections

   • Palette: Tools Change area in the following module(s):

   General: Roofs, Planes, Sections

2. Define format properties (pen thickness, line type, line color and layer) for the lowered roof frame in the Properties palette.
3. Enter the height for this area on the context toolbar.

   Note: The default value is the bottom level of the roof frame. The value for the height of the region you want to lower has to be smaller.

4. Define the outline of the area where you want to split and lower the bottom plane using the polyline entry tools.

   The lower plane is split and lowered. The lowered roof frame gets the format properties set in the Properties palette.

   Note: When you have selected several roof frames, all frames are merged to form a single roof frame.

Note: To delete planes created in this manner, you can use Delete Plane.
