"Behavior of drawing files" dialog box

You can see the Behavior of drawing files dialog box as soon as you

• Assign a different default plane to a drawing file.
• Assign a different default plane to a structural level.
• Change the height of a plane in the floor manager.
• Click Behavior of drawing files in the List Default Planes dialog box.

Using this dialog box, you can specify how elements that are not associated with the default planes are to behave when you assign a different pair of default reference planes to a drawing file or structural level.

Transfer information from planes to all drawing files of the structural level

This option is only displayed when you assign a different pair of default reference planes to a structural level. When you select this option, Allplan assigns the selected default planes to all drawing files subordinate to the relevant structural level. When you do not select this option, Allplan assigns the default planes only to the structural level; the height settings of the default planes in the drawing files do not change.

Also move elements whose height is fixed (absolute elevation, stairs) in the z direction

When this option is active, elements whose height settings are not associated with planes will also move in the z direction.

Also move plane model-independent planes and roof planes in the z direction

When this option is active, custom planes and roof planes will also move in the z direction.

Move by delta Z

You can see the value by which Allplan will move the elements in the z direction. Allplan calculates this value from the difference in height between the bottom levels. The value may differ depending on the default reference planes that actually exist in the drawing files.
