Room heights

A room should not be too high, but certainly not too low either. The best course of action is to set the Upper Limit of a room at the top side of the storey slab above.

1.    Navigate to Properties (View) > Visibility/Graphics

2.    Open the tab Model Categories

3.    Check the box Interior Fill in Room, Space or Area.

4.    Click OK

A Vabi View Template of the settings above can be defined in Menu > View > View Templates > Manage View Templates.
