Storey dimensions

Ceiling thickness: The thickness of the storey ceiling in meters.

Storey height: Height of the storey in meters. This value is also used for vertical room components such as walls. Modifications in the storey height have an effect on all affected room components of the storey.

Parapet height: Parapet height of this storey in meters. The value entered here is taken as the initial value for the parapet height in the rooms on this storey and specifies the height of the radiators in the radiator dimensioning, assuming no deviating settings have been made in the Dimensioning options.

Height above ground: Height of the storey in meters above the ground. This value can be entered only in the storey with the number 0. The building height is also calculated on this basis and the heights of the other storeys are added. It is also possible to enter a negative value. In all other storeys, the height above ground is a pure output field and the calculated height of the storey floor above ground is only displayed.
