Work level by level​

Click a level to make it active: the plan view shows that storey, and everything you draw belongs to it. Each level row displays its elevation on the left and its height on the right; select the level to adjust them.

The 3D view assembles all levels into the full building, which is where cloned storeys and stairs meet (see Stairs).

Levels from a point cloud​

The Automatic level detection button analyzes a loaded point cloud and proposes the storeys it finds. It belongs to the Scan-to-BIM workflow, covered in its own section of this help center.
