Create a Floor

To create a floor, define its boundaries by picking walls or sketching its profile with drawing tools.

1. Click Architecture tabBuild panelFloor drop-down (Floor: Architectural).
2. Draw the floor boundaries, using one of the following methods:
   • Pick walls: By default, Pick Walls is active. If it is not active, click Modify | Create Floor Boundary tabDraw panel (Pick Walls). Select walls in the drawing area to use as floor boundaries.
   • Sketch boundaries: To sketch the profile of the floor, click Modify | Create Floor Boundary tabDraw panel, and select a sketching tool. See Sketching.

   The floor boundary must be a closed loop (profile). To create an opening in the floor, you can sketch another closed loop where you want the opening to appear.

3. Select the floor and on the Modify|Place Floor by Face tabMultiple Selection panel, specify an Offset for the floor edges.
   Note: When you are using Pick Walls, select Extend into wall (to core) to measure the offset from the wall's core.
4. Click (Finish Edit Mode).
