Therefore, the fastest way to design them is to copy the walls of the above level into the basement level. But, in the Plan view, you can notice the light gray outlines of the upper walls to help you draw the basement walls.Īs, most of the time, the walls of a basement (or at least the main walls) have the same place as the ones of the first level. At this stage, even if you have selected in 3D View > Display all levels, you won’t see the new level in the 3D view because it's underground. In the Height field, enter 220 cm where the ceiling will appear when you will create the rooms.Ĭonfirm your choices. Therefore, enter -232 cm in the Elevation field (equal to 220 cm + 12 cm floor thickness of the above level). In this example, the basement height is lower than usual, with a height equal to 220 cm (87 inches). You may also need to change its height which will define the height of the ceilings when you will create the rooms (read also this tip about levels). Rename it with a clearer name, for example "Basement", and more important, change its elevation with a negative value. Then double click on the Level 1 tab to modify its settings. 250 cm level height + 12 cm floor thickness. By default, it’s called Level1 and is placed above the level named Level 0, at a 262 cm (103 inches) elevation, i.e.

This tip shows how to design this new underground level and reconsider the whole house.Ī new tab appears at the top of the plan view, as shown below. Let's consider you need more room and plan to add a basement. In this example, we start with the first floor of a typical London building (mansion). The other is 8 foot high, carpeted, going to the second floor of the section on the right.You designed a flat or a one-story house and need to add afterwards a cellar, a basement, a parking or even its foundations. One is 4 foot high, carpeted, going from the living room up to the master bedroom. One the same height as the above but concrete, going from the garage to the side yard. I also made 3 other sets of stairs in SH3D using walls. This set is 5 feet high, going from the garage to the living room. To highlight another capability of SH3D, here's some stairs I made using walls. Master bedroom at 4 foot above ground level. Here's an aerial view of the garage and sunken storage area. Notice how the round window doesn't realize it's midnight? This shot was taken at midnight from the inaccessible loft at the front of the house. Here's looking towards the front of the house from the dining room, taken about the same time as the first picture in this post. There's a broom closet under the stairs and a pantry behind the refrigerator. The kitchen/dining room taken at the same time that morning, facing the back of the house. Here's the back of the house taken earlier that morning around 7:00 AM.
This shot was taken about 6:00 PM EST ( GMT-5). I should have moved this house out into the country, but it wouldn't have changed the sunrise/sunset much, if any.
That's because I forgot to change them from my previous project, shown in this topic. BTW! If you look up those coordinates at Map Quest or Google Maps you'll see that the house won't actually fit at that location. The front of the house faces NW at latitude N 40.714, longitude W 74.006 ( I only mention those particulars to highlight the capabilities of SH3D).

The second floor is 2 bedrooms with a full bathroom each.
The right 2-story section is one bedroom, office and den with 1 full bath and 2 half bath on the first floor. The middle section is the kitchen, dining room and great room at ground level. The section on the left, when facing the front of the house, is the master bedroom, master bath and laundry room above the garage and sunken storage ( at 5 foot below ground with a 9 foot ceiling). This is a 4-bedroom, 4-full bath, 2-half bath house with kitchen, dining room and great room/formal living room with a den and office and a 2-car garage. There's still some painting and flooring to do and the plumber and electrician haven't finished yet, but here's where it stands so far. The house isn’t quite finished yet so no one has moved in hence the lack of furniture. ft., without the decks and sunken storage. When I added up all the rooms square footage it tallies up to 5774 sq.
I think I might have got a little carried away with this latest project.
