Story help...??

I am working on an apartment building where each unit takes up two floors, but they end up being situated in between the actual levels of the building (as shown in the SketchUp image where the lines coming out from the side mark where the actual story is in Archicad) What would be the best way to do all this in Archicad, keeping in mind that the actual stories are already set up in AC11 (as slabs...the exterior of the building, elevator and stair shafts are already modeled)

let me know if you have any questions about how this is supposed to work...i know its a bit confusing and I have very little documentation yet.

thanks!

I would double the number of Archicad stories (one additional for each unit floor) so that each floor level has it's own AC storey. Combine in layouts as necessary for output.

This should allow you to use multistory walls and cut / projected display. If that isn't feasible you might want to avoid multistory walls and use only symbolic display, but I think that is more work.
