Changing the Computation Height

The default computation height for rooms is 0’ or 0 mm above the base level. See Computation Height.

If a room includes a sloped wall, consider adjusting the computation height to produce more accurate results for the room area and volume.

1. Open a section view (or any view in which you can see defined levels).

   (Optional) Make rooms visible in the section view. See Controlling the Visibility of Rooms.

2. Select a level that serves as the base level for one or more rooms.
3. In the Properties palette, under Dimensions, for Computation Height, enter the distance above the level to use when computing the room area and volume.
4. Click OK.

The change in computation height affects all rooms that use this level as its base level.
