Step 1: Activate one of the draw tools from the top toolbar in BIM Mode. Choose "Flooring" from the object type options. Then select the floor type from the dropdown and adjust the floor thickness by using the slider or entering a value.

Step 2: Select the draw mode from offset modes or freeform mode.

Select the freeform draw mode and start drawing the profile of the floor on the canvas. Define the shape and size according to your project requirements. You can also enter dimensions to create an accurate floor sketch.

Use the offset modes to create a floor with a specific width. You have three options: Center, External, and Internal. Select the mode that best fits your design, then specify the offset width. This approach is particularly useful when applying different flooring materials, allowing you to create distinct floor areas with precise dimensions.

Step 1: Select one of the offset modes, i.e., center, external or internal, as per your requirement and input the offset width as needed.

Step 2: Begin sketching on the design canvas. Drag the cursor to define the sketch boundary (you can also input the dimension value manually accuracy). Press enter to finish.

1. Object Properties: Select the floor and modify its properties using the Object Properties toolbar on the right side of the workspace.

a. To change the floor type, click on the dropdown arrow & select from the default list.

b. Change the dimensions of the floor thickness and overhang by either entering the respective value or from the slider.

c. Other information about the floor length, area, volume, Storey, etc can also be viewed in the properties tab.

​2. Other editing options: Use the available editing tools available in the design tab such as Push/pull, Copy/Array, Rotate, Flip, etc to further edit the floors created. For detailed information on using these tools, visit the Model Editing Tools help page.

Flooring objects participate in the tags system alongside Spaces. Any Tag Category or value you create from Flooring OPP appears in Space OPP, and vice versa — the two are bidirectionally synced so metadata set on a space survives Sketch to BIM and follows the resulting flooring geometry into documentation and export.

For the full tag-system workflow — creating categories, editing values, and using tag-based color and selection — see Working with Space Tags.

Flooring OPP exposes an Area Type toggle with three values — Net, Gross, and Excluded. This mirrors Space behavior so massing and BIM models stay in parity on area rollups. Pick the type that matches how you want the floor counted in program tables and reports.
