vignette overall building height

Postby koreilly » Mon May 22, 2017 10:22 am

I have a general question about building height due to the inaccuracy in the software. While practicing the vignette I noticed that when placing the floors of the two story area, the roof could be an inch or 2 off. This effects the parapet height. Should I extend the exterior walls so the height matches the mathematic height or should I use the sketch circles to make sure I have the graphic clear heights?

The software allows for 10% plus/minus room for error due to the fact that it snaps on every inch.

So you're fine. As long as you're not WAY off.

Work to what the snap allows. Provide relative dimensions. If a requirement is minimum, meet or exceed. If a maximum, meet or move one snap less.
