The main important thing to know when you plan a split-level building is that you do not have to dedicate a separate story for each level. The managing of too many floors could complicate your workflow significantly.
It is also useful for the positioning, to set a reference level for the split levels in the Options > Project Preferences > Reference Levels. You can choose these levels to place the objects relative to them. Also you can determine all positions uniformly compared to Sea Level or Project Zero.
- Enter the offset of the Reference Level to Project Zero
- Within the Object Default Settings press the arrow below to link the Object to one of the Reference Levels
- Then Adjust the offset of the object to the Reference Level
As a result you will have a better control on objects placed on elevated stories of a split level building.
