Different floor levels
In my house at the ground floor I have an open kitchen with a floor being 30 cm higher (kind of a podium) and a bathroom with a floor 30 cm lower ( kind of a pit or a hollow). All that on the ground floor, so I cannot use a floor thickness. What are my other options to model this in the SweetHome?
Thank you
AC

Re: Different floor levels
Sounds similar to my house,, well, almost, anyway, I use
- one level for ground (=garden, with low walls as foundation)
---+ mid level for bathroom (a few cm up from the ground)
- one level for "ground" floor (floor where walls continue...)
---+ and in your case, mid level, for the kitchen 30cm up (no walls on this level)
- one level for first floor

Point is, you can have your main levels - floors - where walls meet vertically, AND then you can insert "in-between" levels for each floor / walking surface. Remember that you can use negative elevation if your bathroom really is a pit... wink
