Show On Stories

Relevant for Wall, Slab, Roof, Shell, Morph, Mesh, Beam, Column.

Use the Show on Stories pop-up in the Floor Plan and Section Panel of Tool Settings to control the display of construction elements by story.

The available options differ by element.

All Relevant Stories

The element will be shown and editable on all stories which it physically intersects. When available, this will be your preferred option most of the time.

All Stories

The element outline - regardless of its actual location - will be shown on every story of the project.

Home Story Only

The element will be shown only on its Home Story. (If the element is drawn so that it does not physically intersect its Home Story, then the only way the element will be shown on the Floor Plan is if you set its Floor Plan Display to one of the symbolic options: Symbolic Cut, Outlines only, Overhead all.)

See Home Story.

Home story plus one story up and/or down

One Story Up/One Story Down

Beams, Columns and Objects have a unique display option: One Story up and One Story Down. This way, you can opt to not display these elements on their Home Story at all.

Custom

Choose this option to set separate display combinations for the element’s outline and fill in Show on Stories: Custom Settings. Once you set these Custom Settings, use the Edit Custom option to edit them.
