3D Floor Plans – Change the Height of the Walls

  • Updated

You can customize the wall height in your 3D Floor Plans in several ways. Either for a single project or, if you’re a Pro or Team subscriber, for your entire account. Wall height is always applied per floor, which means all full-height walls on the same floor will share the same height. If you need variation, you can create half-height walls, but only as individual sections rather than a full alternative wall height for the level. This article explains the available options and how to adjust them.

Change the Height of the Walls for One Level

You can change the height of all walls on the entire level in Level Properties:

  1. Click the Levels button in the top toolbar and click Level Properties.

To create one wall that is lower than the rest of the other walls, please follow the steps of this article: 

Change the Height of the Walls on 3D Floor Plans

RoomSketcher Pro and Team subscribers can choose the height at which the wall is cut on 3D Floor Plans. This option is set up for the entire account, meaning it will affect all 3D Floor Plans.

What Do I Need to Know About Wall Cut Height?

  • All items placed above wall cut height are cut away from the floor plan.
  • The 3D Preview always shows all items, and doesn't reflect the wall cut height setting.
  • You must type in the wall cut height in mm.
  • If you want to include the full height of the walls, just leave this field empty.
  • On a floor plan with sloped ceiling, the wall is not cut unless the wall cut height is below the lowest point of the sloped ceiling.
