4 In the Starting Floor Level box, specify the floor number of the first floor
in the building. To start with a subterranean floor, you can specify 0 or a
negative floor number.
5 In the Skip Floor Levels box, specify floor numbers you want to skip.
Skipping floors is useful when you want to model only certain floors in a
building. To enter a list of floors, use commas to separate the floor
numbers (example: 1,3,7). To enter a range, use a hyphen (example:
8-12).
6 Click OK to close the dialog box.
7 From the Content panel, you can also change default values for floors in
the building. In the Unit of Measurement list, select Feet or Metric. If you
are importing a drawing of a floor plan, choose the measurement system
the drawing uses.
8 In the Height of the Ceiling box, type the number of feet or meters from
the floor to the ceiling (1 to 1000 feet or meters).
The ceiling height is based on the surface of the ceiling where the access
points will be mounted, not on the center of the plenum space between
floors.
9 In the Ceiling Type box, select the type of ceiling used most commonly in
the building.
3WXM adjusts the default attenuations based on your selection.
10 To change the default attenuation for radios, type the number of dB in
the 802.11a (dB) box or 802.11b/g (dB) box.
From the building's Content panel, you can edit the properties of existing
floors in the building. See "Creating or Modifying Floors" next for more
information.
