Plans with different levels

Anonymous
Not applicable

I have a building with a lot of different levels. One room is 1m higher than the other, etc. 

I was first working with offsets but it was becoming too hard, because I have too many different things, so I created different levels. For example,  "ground floor upper" "Ground floor lower".

 

However, I want to be able to export it and see both levels at the same time. And no matter how I change the view range, I still don't see the region masks of the other levels, or the room tags. 

 

What is the smarter way I can be working with different levels but being able to export a plan that shows everything from both levels?

 

 

Thanks

You need to be on the upper level to see and tag Rooms for lower one.  See screen cast:

You can also use View-Plan Views- Plan region command. Draw a plan region within the view and set its view range to the value you need.

Yes, thank you, I managed to do that. It solves one problem, but It still doesn't show masking regions on the lower level. I can just copy them on the upper level, I guess, but I don't know if there is any other way.

I just learnt something new! I didn't know of this. Thank you.

However, I still have the same problem, it doesn't show Masking Regions

Masking region is a detail item. It only shows in the view it was created on. You have to copy paste align it to the other view.

I would create the new Levels without having the Option "Make Plan View" checked...and use them just as host for the various elements on the interm 1m high(er) decks/slabs.

 

Then Duplicate with Detailing (duplicate the floor plan including 2D annotations/Tags/regions etc) as much as required and in each new view I set the cut plane lower or higher with respect to the various Interim slabs.
