The «Floors» feature allows you to create and manage multiple levels in your project: add floors and roofs, set their height, rename, reorder, and configure their display in 2D and 3D modes. This is useful when designing multi-story houses, cottages, or buildings with complex architecture.

You can manage floors in 2D mode using the dropdown menu at the top of the screen.

Viewing Floors

In the dropdown menu, you can choose:

  • a specific floor to work with;
  • the «Whole building» mode – shows all floors together;
  • the «Floors settings» option – opens the floor management panel.

In 3D mode, the roof of the currently active floor is hidden by default so it doesn’t obstruct the interior view. Only the roofs of the floors below are visible. To view the roof on the top floor, switch to the «Whole building» mode.
