Description
The Arch Floor is a special type of FreeCAD group object that has a couple of additional properties particularly suited for building floors. Particularly, they have a height property, that its children objects (walls and structures) can use to set their own height automatically. They are mostly used to organize your model.
How to use
- Optionally, select one or more objects to be included in your new floor.
- Press the Arch Floor button or press the F then L keys.
Options
- After creating a floor, you can add more objects to it by drag and dropping them in the Tree View or by using the Arch Add tool.
- You can remove objects from a floor by drag and dropping them out of it the Tree View or by using the Arch Remove tool.
Properties
- DataHeight: The height of the floor, to be used by its child objects
