To change the actual wall height: Select your Floor from the Explorer panel on the left. In the Property Panel on the right, adjust the Height field—either scroll with your middle mouse button or input a number directly.

Note: This change is for viewing only and won’t affect the actual model. Q12. Can I change the floor material? Select your Floor node from the Explorer panel. In the Property Panel, you’ll find a Material selector with various options. Pro users have access to the full material library. Q13. How many floors or buildings can I create in a project? There's no fixed limit on the number of floors or buildings. However, your project quota is based on the total building area, which varies by subscription tier. Visit our pricing page for the latest details. For example, Free users are allowed up to 1000 m², 25 monitored devices, and 1 dashboard. To check your current usage, click the percentage icon in the bottom-left Status Bar to see a detailed quota breakdown. Q14. How can I place a lamp on a table? Enter Edit Objects mode. Select the lamp object. In the Property Panel, set the Position Type to "Free". This enables 3-way adjustment handles, allowing you to freely move and rotate the lamp onto the table or other surfaces. In Zircon3D, the position helper allows movement and rotation along three directions and surfaces. To elevate an object, switch to Edit Object mode, select it, and set its Position Type to ‘Free’ in the right panel. [image: 5382e148adb8b3ace38eb6be1465abc410ae8bd8.gif] Q15. Can I change the gap or height between floors? You can adjust the wall height for a permanent change between floors. For visual-only adjustments: Open View Settings from the Eye icon in the bottom-right. Adjust the Floor Separation value. Note: This setting only affects the current view and won’t be saved to the actual model. Q16. How can I remove part of a wall or add a separate wall? To modify or add walls: Switch to Edit Building mode. In the left panel, open the Building Parts section. To remove part of a wall, drag and drop a Wall Opening onto an existing wall. Use the position helper to adjust its size and placement. To add a separate wall, drag and drop a Divider into the room. You can resize and reposition it using the position helper. To remove a wall opening, select the parent room of the opening. In the Properties Panel on the right, you’ll see a list of all wall openings associated with that room. Click the “×” next to the one you want to remove.
