Сhanging the storey visibility is operative for the Building structure and for all installations included in the project.
- To keep the storey in use visible, turn off the visibility of the rest storeys;
Note: elements belonging to all levels remain visible (e.g. stairwells, risers). - To quickly switch on the visualisation of the whole building, turn on the visibility of the Building.
Use the function Partitions visibility for the precise verification of thermal partitions. For more information, see: Checklist for verifying thermal partitions.
