Modify instance properties to specify the level's elevation, computation height, name, and more.
To change instance properties, select the element and change its properties on the Properties palette.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Constraints | |
| Elevation | The vertical height of the level. |
| Story Above | Used in conjunction with the Building Story parameter when exporting to IFC with the export option
Split walls and columns by story. See
Export a Project to IFC.
This parameter indicates the next building story for the level. By default, Story Above is the next highest level for which Building Story is enabled. To access a list of all building stories above the current one, click in the field. The Story Above does not need to be the next higher level or building story. If the selected level is later deleted or if Building Story is disabled, any levels with this level as their Story Above will revert to default behavior. |
| Dimensions | |
| Computation Height | The distance above the level to use when computing a room's perimeter, area, and volume. See Computation Height. |
| Identity Data | |
| Name | A label for the level. You can assign any label or name you wish to this property. |
| Structural | Identifies the level as primarily structural (for example, Top of Steel). By default, this parameter is disabled.
Note: A level can be defined as both structural and a building story.
|
| Building Story | Use it in conjunction with the Story Above parameter when exporting to IFC with the export option
Split walls and columns by level. See
Export a Project to IFC.
This parameter indicates that the level corresponds to a functional story or floor in the model, as opposed to other levels, such as landings and parapets. By default, this parameter is disabled. |
| Design Option | A read-only field that indicates the design option in which the level lines display. |
| Extents | |
| Scope Box | The scope box applied to the level. See Controlling Visibility of Datums Using Scope Boxes. |
