Block height

Is it possible to have a block with different wall heights at each end?

Kim,
You can define only one height for a block in DesignBuilder. However, it is possible to create two different wall heights in the same block. You can create it in the following 2 ways:

1. Draw your block in vertical plane.
2. Draw your block in horizontal plane and then use Cutting tool to cut the block at the desired slope.

If it is a complicated model you may also need to make use of "Draw hole" feature..

Thanks Mahabir.

I successfully used your option 2.

I now have an irregular shape (one end wider than the other) with the wall height different (lower at the wider end) at each end.

I'm now having trouble adding a pitched roof (the difference in wall height is supposed to compensate for the irregular shape.

Is it possible to add a pitched roof to this?

Thanks.
Kim

Kim,
You will not be able to use the Standard "Piched Roof" from DesignBuilder. In this case, you would need to make use of "cutting tool" to draw a pitched roof..
