Sink A Family Room

It seems like sinking a room in relation to the rest of the home would be difficult in Xactimate, but it actually takes just a few clicks to move the room downward to create the "sunken" look!
For even more fun, you can sink the room a few feet and then add a stair case going up to the higher level for a split floor plan style look.

Would you develop a class showing how to create a multilevel floorplan -- typical split level. Stairs up half, two floors about 4-feet apart, garage under one and bedrooms above garage with living area and kitchen on the other?

Hey Fernando! Thanks for the suggestion but that's the stuff that's included in my paid training. You can email me at [e-mail] to find out more about what we have to offer!

you should show HOW TO - do a partial sunken room. A lot of rooms have a walk-in area and then the room floor drops down approximately 8 inches. It's easy to do a whole room but takes little finesse to do a partial room with a different floor level in the middle of the room and keep the same ceiling height or type.
Have a good day

I run into a ton of sunken living/family rooms, even multiple heights from one room to the next in my region. Often times these areas have more than one step down. When I draw such rooms with more than one step, I create sub rooms and each one is 6"-7" lower than the room before it. Just have to make sure the ceiling heights match if there are open walls in between.
