Since the DDS-CAD room module is based on 3D, it is important to operate with the correct heights. You will get a survey of height with the function key “Room List"
Heights from Room List.
Storey height is the distance from Z=0 in the current floor to Z=0 in the next floor.
Storey height in DDS-CAD room module
The floor in the room module is divided into two layers. Slab Thickness and FFL Thickness
Slab Thickness and FFL Thickness in DDS-CAD floor.
In the division between slab thickness and ffl thickness Z= 0 in all storeys. If ffl thickness is not defined on the floor, the upper edge slab thickness will be Z=0.¨
It is possible to have different height of the rooms in one storey. From Room List 
you will get a list of all the rooms. Double-click on the room you want to edit, and set the new height
Different room heights in the same storey.
If you have several plans in different height levels in the same storey, you must define an area for each height level. When the area has been defined, double-click on the floor and set the assembly height.

See video how to define a new area on different elevation plan.
