1 1/2 story roof plane outline displays on lower floor

[OrSkier]

Hi,

I'm drawing a 1 1/2 story house. This means using "ignore upper floor" to make HD build the roof on top of the first-floor walls. It also means that in the plan view, the roof plane outlines display on the lower floor. This looks funny when looking at the layout view for the plan set. The only way I can think of to correct this is to turn off roof plane display when sending the view to layout, and to draw cad lines to represent the roof outline if I want to show that on the upper floor.

 

Am I missing something?

If auto rebuild roofs is off, you can cut the roof planes and paste/hold position an an upper floor.

 

Right click on a roof plane and choose Display On Floor Above.

 

Floors are a place where things show in plan, not necessarily where they show in a camera view. 

I could draw a slab on floor 5, and set its height so it displays at ground level.

All objects in this software are on a named layer in "Display Options" for plan view. You can choose to merely turn them off or as Eric said you can move them visually to another floor.
