Module(s): General: Roofs, Planes, Sections
When you create an architectural element, you can define its height:
Reference planes
You use Custom Planes to define a custom pair of reference planes. These planes (there are always two) can be inclined at any angle and have the height that you assign to them.
Height values
Each point on a pair of reference planes viewed in plan has an upper and a lower height value.
A wall positioned under two custom pairs of reference planes might look like this:
You might ask what the difference is between custom planes and a roof frame:
When you use Roof Frame to design virtual frames or roof frames, you are in effect defining a series of custom pairs of planes. You could, of course, use the Custom Planes tool to design the frame. In the case of particularly complex roof structures, for instance, you will find that Custom Planes is a more powerful and effective tool. Using custom pairs of reference planes, you can design interesting and complex volume models.
