Assign Objects to a Building Storey

You can manually assign object to a building storey in the containment palette.

  • Drag and drop objects from anywhere on top of a building storey in the containment palette
  • Drag and drop a building storey on top of another building storey in the containment palette. This will merge the building storeys.

You can automatically assign objects to building storeys using the ‘IFC Auto Containment’ tool. Running this tool will assign objects to the correct building storey based on the elevation of the object relative to the elevations of the building storeys.

Each object can be assigned to only one building storey. When you assign an object to a building storey it will automatically be removed from it’s previous building storey.

If you have objects that are multiple building storeys high and you need to cut them such that each building storey has its own object, then you can use the Location Tools add-on.
