How Floors are Created

A floor is automatically inserted throughout your model when you connect three or more walls to create a closed exterior wall layout.

The material applied to the floor depends on the house style you selected when using the House Builder Wizard. If you created your model from scratch, a nylon carpet was applied. You can apply a different material to the floor if you want.

When you draw interior walls, the floor is split into individual floors as new rooms are created provided the room’s walls are all connected. You can also manually split automatic floors using the Room Division tool.

Floors can only be selected in 3D view. The only exception are floor edges that have been defined using the Room Division tool. Such edges are marked with a dashed line in 2D plan view, and can be stretched if necessary.

Floors are directly associated with the walls that contain them. If you stretch your wall layout, the floor stretches with it. If you open up your wall layout by deleting a wall, the floor will be deleted.  

Tip: For projects in which you plan to use the House Builder Wizard, you can change the default floor type by editing the House Builder Wizard element configuration before running the Wizard. You can also select the floor type you want while running the Wizard. If you plan to create a model from scratch, you can change the default floor type by selecting the desired floor type in the Catalog Manager before creating your wall layout.
