Hi Jack Taylor,

Say you have two areas of 19'x 40' each

Assuming you have both floors in one room--> Floor tab--> Draw the walls (unselect autofloor.)--> In the floor tab--> floor tool--> draw two floors areas with 19'x 40' each--> select the first--> set the elevation (say 0.00")--> select the second floor--> set the elevation (say 14.00" or 21.00", two or three steps as you stated)--> create the stair to link both levels

If you have two rooms, just select the walls and set the elevation according with the floors' elevations

Hi Patricia

I am also trying to get my mind around split levels. We have a concrete floored garage/office sharing a wall with the house, which has a raised wooden floor)

Since I want separate floor coverings, I have turned off Auto-Floor.

If I simply raise a section of room's floor by setting the floor's elevation, the base trim on the walls gets hidden below the floor level. If I then raise the rooms wall's elevation (as you suggest), they don't touch the ground outside the house.

Is there a way of getting walls to touch the ground/grass outside, and on the inside provide a suitable base trim for a floor that is above ground level?

Also, is there a way to get baswe trim at differnt levels on opposite sides of a wall?

Hi Andrew Spencer,

Say the elevation of the floor of the garage is
0" and elevation of the floor of the following room (sharing the wall) is 50"
This is how I'd create the dividing wall--> Create a wall with height= 50"--> set the elevation at 0"--> create a second wall with the necessary height (from the floor of the room to the ceiling)--> set the elevation at 50"--> stack the second wall on the first wall--> if you used interior walls, delete the trim of the upper wall (facing the garage).

You can play with the topo levels using the Topo Designer Power Tool
