Roof cover fill on home storey only

Tijana

Hello

 

How can I get a roof cover fill to show only on the Roof Plan and not on the Ground Floor plan? I am using AC25.

 

Thanks, 

Tijana

It’s a bit of a dark art. I usually find setting the home storey of the roof to be the storey above ground or first depending how many storeys you have. Then within the options of the floor plan display set to custom and you can pick and choose how the outlines and fills are displayed relative to the home storey. If you have set the home storey of the roof on the ground storey, copy the height from project zero, reset the home storey to be the storey above and then paste the copied value back in to height from project zero to maintain the roof at its original height. Hope that helps.

Hi Lee, my roof is set to be on the storey above ground level. I can't find the custom option of the roof display setting. Is it supposed to be here?

Thanks

A quicker way to change the Story assignment without changing the height from Project Zero is to select the Roof, right-click and select Relink Home Story..., then select the new Home Story from the list.
