Ceilings and similar elements:

2. add or remove additional points --> modification toolbar & + or -
3. cut openings --> toolbar cut or cut through
4. convert surface into a volume --> modification toolbar
5. set Z-height in Modify area
6. define inclination
- element converted into a mesh (modification toolbar)
- Stretch individual points with key 7
- Set the bend angle in the Modify area to 0 so that all 3 corners are visible. Then flip edges if necessary.



Walls:

1. catalog element wall use
2. two walls can be connected (modification toolbar) or an end angle can be defined (modify area)
3. add openings
4. openings specially
- Model opening , weld if necessary 
- Define volume as IFC type Opening (In the Modify area) and then select the wall as a connecting element


*Shortcut: If several slabs have been modelled, the slabs can be cut with the touching walls. Activate all ceilings and press key C + W + A, then the ceilings cut volumes into the walls. This way the height of the walls does not have to be modelled individually.
