Add an elevation area – Design

Use this command to display one or more walls in Elevation (front 2D view). See Also Duplicate elevation areas in placement zone.

To display one wall in Elevation, double-click the placement zone.
To display two or more walls in Elevation, first select the wall placement zones while pressing the CTRL key, and then press CTRL+K or click Add Elevation in the Room Layout ribbon.
For instructions on changing the height or width of an Elevation area, see Elevation areas, adding and resizing them.

When you select two or more walls, they are displayed side by side as separate entities but are considered one view; therefore, a single display tab becomes available per view each time you add an Elevation area.

You can configure Display Settings for each elevation view.

Add multiple elevations

It's possible to add multiple elevations on the same elevation tab.

Open a design file with more than one wall.
Click in one of the placement zones.
Hold the CTRL key on the keyboard and click in a second placement zone. Repeat this step if there are more placement zones you would like to include in the elevation. All selected placement zones are highlighted in blue.
Click on Room Layout and click on Add Elevation.

Tip: Another method to add an elevation - Once the placement zones are highlighted, right-click on the floorplan and click Add Elevation Area.

A single elevation tab is created showing elevations from all the selected walls.
