Room height in design

When tracing a room you are asked for the total wall height.

However, when you into 'change surface' each wall must then be individually set to the height again, is it possible to set the height once for each wall within the room without assigning them individually?

  • Hello

    There are a couple of things that can help with setting up wall heights.

    The first is to set your wall heights before you draw the room using the defaults option.


    Any information you enter in here will be used to define the next, and consequent rooms.

    If you find you have a room with incorrect wall heights, then you can use the global option to select rooms and change the heights therein

    Finally, as you continue with your building, you will likely need to place a roof. In the Roof/floors option you will find the facility to extend wall heights to the underside of ceilings, and all so a 'setup intermediate floors' option. The intermediate floors option will extend walls to the next level, and the extend wall heights option will ensure your walls extend into the roof line correctly.

    An example of the Extend Walls option being used to ensure walls extend up into the pitch of the roof:
