Level

Allows you to assign the height of the construction level above the base level.

Spacing

Source

Allows you to assign the level as Unique or the same as another level. Unique levels can be edited independently, whereas edits to indentical levels are applied at both levels simultaneously.

Slab Th.

Allows you to set the default thickness for any slab created on the level.

Floor

Allows you to assign the construction level as a major level in the building. Floor levels determine the number of sub models that are created for the chasedown analysis. Floor levels are also used to determine items such as your inter story height.

There will certainly be a number of levels that are clearly floor levels, but there could be many others that are not. For example you create intermediate levels in order to define:

When you define a level that is clearly not a floor, then you should not check the option. If a floor exists only at some locations in the level (e.g. in a building with stepped floor levels), then you should check the option where applicable.
