Adding a balcony or gallery

Step by step

1. Click “Balcony”. It lands on the left side of the hall, with the railing facing the middle of the room.
2. Under “Size and options” on the right, set:
   • “Width” (1 to 30 m) and “Depth” (0.5 to 8 m),
   • “Height” from 1 to 10 m, measured to the top of the balcony floor,
   • “Railing”: “Metal”, “Glass” or “none”,
   • “Supports”: “none” or “front” (columns under the front edge),
   • “Rotation”, so the balcony sits on the right wall and the railing faces into the hall.
3. To move it, click the balcony first, then drag it into place.
4. Put a tripod, totem or T-bar on it and mount your fixtures there (see Putting fixtures on truss and stands). Or place a fixture freely on the balcony: drag it there while holding ⌥ / Alt.
