Component block

Hi,

If I draw a component block as a floor structure between two floors (that's cause it has a weird shape and it overhangs from the building), how does it thermally works?

I have drawn the perimeter of my building from a .dxf file. Now I draw a component block with the same .dxf file, but I can't put it together, I mean, one next to the other. This is because I want to create a component block for shadding a circle part of the building, but I can't do it.

Thank you for your help!!!

Hi

You can't use component blocks in that way to split the building up. The nearest thing to that would be to use the cutting tool to split a single tall block into multiple floors.

The usual approach is to draw each floor separately and if some parts of the floor are cut away then draw a hole in the appropriate floor surface.

Hi Andy,

thanks for your answer., I don't know if I have understood you correctly. So I can´t use component blocks as structure, only for shading?

Is there any difference if I join different component blocks or if I don't? I can't do it becasuse there are always interjections...

Thanks!
