Interior Wall Height

Anonymous
Not applicable
To make wall ends properly, the "Top offset to top linked story" has to be correct. Correct in my case equals top of composite slab that I use for the floor above minus the thickness of the composite slab. Only then will the wall end be cut where it's supposed to be cut at.

Can't even this be parametric? Shouldn't the height of the wall be possible to determine from the thickness of the slab?

You could have multiple slabs above a wall (ceiling, structural slab, floor/ceiling framing, floor finish, etc).
And these slabs may not even extend over the walls.
So you would have to link every wall to a specific slab on each storey.

It is much easier to use a storey height with an offset.
The storey height applies to every wall.

It is not possible to have the Top/Base Offset values of elements to be defined by a parameter. This is not implemented as a feature in ARCHICAD.
