GintOtis Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 I'm wondering if there is a method to isolate a room and have just that room's floor height be higher than the surrounding floor. In my case, to have a step-up from the garage level, I've attempted to add 4" to that Entry Room's absolute floor elevation with no results. Hopefully, there's a checkbox that I'm overlooking... Thanks for any clues as to how to do this! (I have added a 4" slab via room polyline, but that does not raise doors and the bottom of stairs ...so that's not an option) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Check the "Room Types". Typically, you would have the basic floor level at 0" and the Garage Room Type would be at -4". If your "Entry" is a "Garage Room Type" then it would be recessed to -4". Otherwise, it should be at 0". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaneK Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 open room dbx and raise floor, it will have a adverse affect if roofs or floors above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GintOtis Posted November 30, 2020 Author Share Posted November 30, 2020 Joseph, I've already used "Entry" as the room type in an attempt to differentiate it from the garage. Shane, i believe that's what i've attempted to do (with no resulting change to floor height or roofs/floors above). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaneK Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Do as Eric asks and it will be fixed or at least an answer without the guessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GintOtis Posted November 30, 2020 Author Share Posted November 30, 2020 i think i did that, no? (btw, in my floor elevations, I'd want to raise the entry floor 4", as opposed to lowering the garage slab 4"... so as to make those risers a little less tall) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GintOtis Posted November 30, 2020 Author Share Posted November 30, 2020 Thanks, Eric. I did what you did, made the stem wall for that room 4" taller, and that's what i needed! ...now is there a way to keep the 4" garage slab but slope it, say at 1/8", toward the door?

No, but you could make the Garage Floor even lower and add a "Ramp" on top of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridge_Runner Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 You could also draw a polyline solid in section view sloped the way you want it. Have to adjust its position in plan view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you really need to model it, then you'll need to do as Mike or Joe suggest above. I just put a note with an arrow (Like a roof slope arrow) calling out the slope and direction.
