Description

The article describes how create multi-storey rooms.

The multi-storey room is created by:

• declaring scope of storey in data table of room inserted manually as a polygon,
• by using opening in slab dividing rooms created by program from the walls, slabs and roof,
• by manual creation of Building structure: single- and multi-storey Walls and correctly drawn Slabs.

Location in program

For more information, see: Preparation of building structure

Examples of use

1. Multi-storey room created from a room inserted manually with declaration of storey range.
After declaring range of storey, in window Project browser check if room is assigned to a separate element Building unit.

For more information, see: Editing data of Building units

2. Multi-storey room created by using opening in slab.

• Cutting holes in slabs by using the tool Opening in slab.
• Make Computation of building structure .
• If the building will has Thermal calculations of building by method Calculations acc. to standard for a single family house, a correct ventilation air balance requires placing all rooms in the element multi-storey Building unit.
• Delete unnecessary (empty) Building unit.

3. Multi-storey room covers large part of a building. In such case its arrangement can be realized in several ways.

If the layout of the rooms is similar on each storey:
Variant 1

• Create manual Walls. For more information, see: Preparation of building structure.
  
• Specify storey range. Use tools for marking multiple components.
• Create manual Slabs, Roof. Сarefully observe the anchor points of created construction elements.
• Run Computation of building structure .
• Сorrect the assignment of the rooms to Building unit for the proper calculation of ventilation air balance.
• Delete unnecessary (empty) Building unit.

Variant 2

• Create Rooms manually.For more information, see: Preparation of building structure - Rooms layout.
  
• Create Building contour.
• Specify storey range for multi-storey Room and Building contour.
• Run Building generator.
• Make Computation of building structure .
• Сorrect the assignment of the rooms to Building unit for the proper calculation of ventilation air balance.
• Delete unnecessary (empty) Building unit.

If the layout of the rooms is different on each storey:

• Create Rooms manually.
• Create Building contour.
• Specify storey range for each Room and Building contour.
• Run Building generator.
• Add element Wall manually.
• Make Computation of building structure .
• Сorrect the assignment of the rooms to Building unit for the proper calculation of ventilation air balance.
• Delete unnecessary (empty) Building unit.

Here are just a few examples of creating multi-storey rooms. The program aims to provide maximum opportunities to realize the most complex projects. The implementation will depend on the specific layout of the building design.
