Settings: Dimensions

Purpose: Helps define the key vertical measurements used throughout the project. These settings establish the relationship between structural slabs, finished floors, and parapets. By entering accurate values here, all floor heights, elevations, and panel calculations will reflect the correct building geometry.

Default floor height (1): This value sets the standard floor‑to‑floor height used across the project. It determines the vertical spacing between levels unless a custom height is applied to a specific floor.

Attachment Settings (2): Attachment settings allows to define how the finished floor and structural slab relate to each other. These values control the positioning of panels and ensure attachments align correctly with the building’s structural components.

Note: The position of the yellow and the orange lines can't be changed and their distance depends on the structural slab thickness.

Page Actualization (3): Helps reload the Dimension values currently stored in the system. It ensures that any recent updates, changes, or default values are reapplied and displayed correctly. Use this button whenever needed to reset the inputs to their latest saved state or verify that all values are up to date.

Finished Floor Thickness (4): This input specifies the thickness of the finished floor layer above the structural slab. It affects elevation height calculations and helps ensure accurate placement of finish‑related components.

Structural Slab Thickness (5): Defines the thickness of the structural slab for each level. This measurement is essential for calculating floor‑to‑floor heights and verifying alignment across multiple stories.

Ceiling Thickness (6): Represents the space or layer thickness allocated above the finished floor and below the next slab. This value may affect elevation views and panel alignment. It defines the distance between the lower edge of the floor and the horizontal panel break.

Ground level structural slab thickness (7): A dedicated field for defining the slab thickness at ground level. This is often different from upper floors and ensures correct modeling of the base floor.

Ground level finished floor thickness (8): Specifies the finished floor thickness specifically for the ground level. It ensures the ground‑floor elevations match real‑world construction conditions.

Parapet height (9): Sets the height of the parapet above the top floor. This value is critical for accurate elevation drawings and calculation of panels that extend beyond the roof line.

Measurement System (10): Select the measurement system used for the level height.

• Structural Slab Level to Structural Slab Level: Floor height is measured from one structural slab surface to the next.

• Finished Floor Level to Finished Floor Level: Floor height is measured between finished floor surfaces.

Note: It is recommended to use the "structural slab level to structural slab level" measurement system (on the left side) because most of the provided building plans only show the building shell measurements.
