Hello,
I would like to ask a question about the setting floor for each room.
Could you please let me know how create individually the thickness of a floor for each room.
Conditions folowing as;
1. no using a file of roof.dxf
2. possible or impossible to change individually the thicknes of a floor for each rooms within the icons of CAD input or MAT.
Please reply to help me asap.
Yes, you can change your internal or external floor properties by applying any of the existing Fabric types. These can be viewed in the Design Database > Fabric menu, as below. Here you can also edit the existing materials or create your own. Once the Fabric data has been set up as you require, you can apply the Fabric type to your constructions in CAD Input.
In relation to not using a Roof.dxf - I am unsure as to why this would be the case? Does this building not have any exposed roof?

Hi Shiro,
You will need to go into the CAD Input > Roof/floors menu to set up your intermediate floors and ceilings - there you can specify your ceiling and internal floor fabric types. When you press the 'Set Up Intermediate floors' button this tells the software that there is heat transfer between these surfaces. The below section of the manuals should help to clarify, please see below.
There is no trial version of the software, only a trial license and this will have no affect on these matters. I'm not completely sure what the issue is here however I will try to address each of your points in turn:
*It shows the Floor type button is unchangeable within CAD input >Rooms>Change surface - If you are referring to the menu below, then the software is working as it should. You cannot change the ceiling/floor type on this menu. You must instead do this on the Roof/floors menu.
*It could not be reflected the result within Design database>Print>Display/Print neither - The celing and floor types specified as below will be displayed in the Print report, after clicking on 'Set up intermediate floors'.
*Any types of ceilings and floors (internal floors included) could not been changed for setting up - Are you referring to the menu as in screenshot above? If you click in the 'Intermediate ceiling type' box a list of ceiling types will be displayed.
I hope the above helps. Should you have any further queries I will need to see screenshots showing exactly what your issue is, and potentially a copy of your project. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Hi Shiro, Could you please send me a PM and we can discuss this matter in private? I think this forum conversation has run its course at this stage as we don't seem to be any closer to a solution! Thanks
