Addrenry
can i request folks look into helping out my request that follows on a bit from this (in a slightly different manner): dungeonalchemist.upvoty.com/b/feature-requests/select-copy-mirror-paste-terrain/

🥳🥳🥳
Mark Brewer
SO EXCITED!!!!!
As far as I can tell this feature has been "around the corner" and heavily requested for 3 years now? As other comments have mentioned, if the company haven't given up they need to communicate that because this looks bad.
Benn Grant
Agreed, agreed, agreed!
Kent Narling
Would be nice to hear the devs comment on progress here?
Is it near finished? What are the thoughts/challenges/possibilities etc?
JESTER
Curious how this might be handled when exporting to VTT:
- Transparencies for each level above ground
- Each level is its own scene
- Other example options not listed
Possibly a selector within the export to choose one of several options supported?
Curses! I came here looking to see if multi-level support existed, but found that it's planned. Oh well, it's planned. [begins tapping fingers impatiently]. Anyone know a good workaround in the meantime?
Konrad Chiara
You can use the green screen field, or you can save the image of the ground floor and use that for background for the upper one
Repeat the process for every time you need. It's speculate that the multi level will arrive with the next update probably during the autumn. The last bigger update was intended as foundation for the next update
Bernard Kauffman
I've been creating and exporting multiple maps into a virtual tabletop (I use Foundry). Not a permanent solution, but it works pretty okay.
Using Foundry, I export multiple maps into multiple scenes and use one of two modules: Stairways Teleporter or Monk's Active Tiles.
Stairways is faster and somewhat easier to use. Active Tiles has other features and allows many actions to be automated.
Simon
Need this sooo bad. DA won't feel totally "complete" to me until they add this
Luca Tortora (Luke)
please now
Eric Luther
Can't wait for it!
Cj Crillesen
do we have a suspected time we will get this update??

In the interim, while we wait for full support, it'd be really useful if it supported "blank" tiles that essentially exported as transparent.
This would at least let me import the maps into foundry as an overlay, complete with sections that show the map below.
Jules Lelay (Taratatsa)
There now is a green background available for export which allows for great transparent export with softwares like GIMP, for instance for upper levels in FoundryVTT.
In addition, you can also export with no border if you need the surrounding biome.
Tiza Hex
I hope this will implemented well and in the export to VTT cause this could create some problems.
Dustin Wood
"Slice" at levels. Multi-level buildings, but also things like treetops that can be separated by level and rendered out. VTTs (Foundry) can use these objects as overhead tiles, allowing tokens to move under and over treetops and roofs.
when this is finally added, i will be able to actually use this as a mapmaking tool. i honestly hope they release it in a smaller update rather than taking a 8+ months for it to drop.
I would love to see this as a feature. Also it would be awesome if the differing levels were added into the .json file. To be used in Foundry with the levels mod.

Dying for this :(
Just got this software and i must say it is fantastic. This however is the one disappointment i have in it. The inability to build multi level buildings and dungeons will definitely limit how much i use this software. As well as the lack of constructing roofs not just from an aesthetics point of view but also to help prevent disclosing areas of a map i would rather keep hidden till my players explore those areas is a let down.
Andreas Lamplmair
I love to see such a feature in the future.
Rich Robbins
One of the great features of the software is the ability to intuitively generate exquisite maps easily. However, maps quickly lose their appeal when everything is one dimensional. There needs to be the ability to create fantastic maps with multiple stories.
Great piece of software. But this is what stops me from using it currently. Otherwise I could do significantly more maps in it for my VTT. Many maps I want to create have multiple levels -- even just stairs up/down to raised or sunken rooms in a dungeon. I see we aren't getting much info on when this might come to be. Looking forward to the feature when it comes.
Benjamin Nelson
Just got this software for the spring sale, this was the biggest disappointment. I want to make a map, which this does great, but I want to picture/video to go with it. Half walls and no roof really kill the picture/video feel.

Adjustable multi-level support please, not just Floor 1, 2, etc.
A: Make an Option, where i can select the level height.
B: Also an Option to blur under some height, also adjustable, both in intensity and height.
Example A: Under wooden floor, a hidden pit with treasure or trap, and you want to only illustrate that.
Example B: A balcony, where you can see the street down blurred. An indoor balcony at a tavern, where it's blurred downstairs.
Jason McConnell
This would be fantastic! I noticed this was set to planned 2 years ago, any idea when this will become a reality?
Keidjano
I keep hope ! Even just been able to put rooms on different elevation in the same map would be nice.
Yes please, primarily to adding a roof to buildings (for isometric scene-setting images that don't give away floor layout or contents!), but also secondarily to having multi-level buildings (eg. a house on stilts with connected steps down to the water below it).
Civing
Multi-Level with roof would be awesome. Then it would be possible to create 3D scenery from first person view with the map you will use as a battle map later.
A little bit like an integrated FlowScape.
SetArk
I would ask, if possible to add not just multi-level but a "Foundation" option or buildings.
Certain buildings have an, 1~3 ft foundation height, that allow for exemple for a porch in front of the house, with a little stair of 2~5 steps up.
It would give the ability to give some "Mansion entrance" for exemple feeling, or "The house of the old curmudgeon" where the old man sits on a chair on his porch just screaming at people passing by.
Those are some exemples, but, i think more could be done.
I think, modern day houses call it Crawl Space? But i've heard it beeing called part of the Foundation (The Sims calls it Foundation if i recall right)
I know that in normal medieval times those apparently wasn't a thing.
But well, we're all here for the fantasy aren't?
Basically that little 1~3ft height foundation under a house to make it "above" ground level.
Or should i post this as another topic?

Having a roof overhead in dungeons, caves and buildings would be awesome. It would give a better visual effect for the players. Being able to create a mutli-level complex without tweaking the dam file would be super awesome also. Could create a 3 level map on the same page instead of multiple pages, 1 for each level.
More floors in booth directions (up and down) in one map would be nice. Perhaps with the possibility to show /print it one next to each other. :)

This feature alone would be worth its own update. This and being able to change elevations of some areas. You wouldn't need to add a single additional asset or model with this update. Once you get the multi-level working, I would suggest to release that and worry about roofs for another future update.
Achim Steigert
This is such a hot item! I want to create the map of a manor with several floors. Frustrating that this is not possible yet.

But I understand it's still in beta. No worries! :)

Алексей Припадчев

Mister Music
I'd love if you implemented this!
I think you could achieve this by creating multiple hide-able layers at set heights, then creating a property to each item that assigns a layer to the item. From there, each layer except the ground level, needs a property that determines whether it is visible or not. That could also pass to each item, so if their layer is toggled off, the items assigned to that layer are toggled off.
Also, you would need floor tiles for the different layers. It could be as simple as reusing the way tiles are added to the ground floor, except they would have to have some sort of transparency property, so that glass floors pass light, but wooden ones do not.
From here, you would have to adjust the “room calculation” and lighting to look at the layers above/below, in order to consider open spaces on all three axes, rather than just X/Y like now. If you stored the height of a room in a variable, your room calculation could also use multilayer objects in the auto-generation, if the room is large enough to accommodate them.
I also think it should be up to the creators to ensure supports exist, so you shouldn’t need to include a “needs a support within X spaces” calculation/restriction.
I think it’s a stretch, but if you gave each layer a global ‘height’ property, we could even choose the different heights in the layers, too. For instance, maybe we want a ground floor, then half inch levels to accommodate a town with multiple elevations, or 2 inch layers for large, vaulted buildings like cathedrals.
Also, we would likely need an option to export as one image or as multiple single-layer files, depending on printing or VTT preference.
This would all enable us to build the creations as we see fit, and would put Dungeon Alchemist head-and-shoulders above any other platform!

would be awsome if there will also be foundry support in any way with multi level maps! :)
Multilevel support within a map with levels that can see the levels below. Like a house floorplan. Roofs for building second floor of a building. Lastly ability to link maps together within the software like clicking on staircase to bring onto basement level but keeps the size of each map peice smaller.
Bravo for this superb tool!
Having several levels and especially the possibility of having a roof over the buildings would also allow to create illustrations for the players. This would increase the capacity of the software in a narrative axis.
Thanks for everything
Greg Beckham
I'd like to have the ability to stack walls, place higher walls, or size-scale walls so that in the 1st person view you can take images to show players and not reveal what's in the rooms beyond if there are large items. Since some rooms are 40' high and others are only 10', perhaps it makes most sense to stack existing walls. I realize that for the top down view and for current practical playing purposes, a feature like this would be unimportant, but it would make sharing the images with players MUCH better -- especially when 3D views become available to and downloadable to VTTs!
Also, one other thing... I am surprised that you cannot just make a secret door out of any part of a wall by clicking on that wall segment and turning it into a door... maybe the programming is more complex than I understand...

Janes Signal
I just got Dungeon Alchemist and would LOVE to have this. It's nice to have the ability to pop through levels as I do in Dungeon Draft. Also, having a roof that covers the inside will make it so I don't have to make all maps "night time" so I can obfuscate what's inside until they get in there.
Are you using Dungeon ALchemist as a Tabletop simulator? If not Owlbear Rodeo for instance lets you point dark spots on the map that only you as the DM can see through.
Nathan Wolke
Multi-level would be great, for sure, but just roofs in general. The export to Foundry is good and the top down is amazing but it seems like such a waste to lose the 3d isometric that I'm doing a screenshot of the map (if its outdoors or most of the map can be seen) so the players can see that perspective. But I'd like to put a roof on some buildings to hide the interior.
Slartibart
As I'm using the Levels module in FoundryVTT, some real QOL improvements would be to be able to export directly into PNG (or even better, WEBP) with no background. As it is now, I have to export to get a JPG, load that into Photoshop, cut out the room(s) to get transparent background and then convert to WEBP.
Besides, it seems that the Export function automatically cuts out unused map space and centers the parts being exported. I would like to be able to turn that off, since it can make lightning and perspective differ between levels.
I've been trying to build some rooms on top of rises in the terrain so some rooms could be higher than others, but it keeps erasing the terrain when I do and lowering the room. I think it'd be cool if we could make some rooms higher than others somehow!

It should also be possible to make treetops roofs (a toggle switch). I suggest all trees with tall stems have this switched on by default, as characters can see underneath their treecrowns; whereas trees with short stems (before the tree crown begins), such as some of the pine trees, should have this switched off by default.
A must-have for this program. Would make it a lot more competitive with my main cartography program.

Canned Man
When creating multi-level maps, it can get quite confusing to know which path leads to where. Being able to select a map point, such as a set of ascending stairs, and connecting that to another map point, e.g. the corresponding descending stairs, would make this process much easier; it should also be possible to do this across map files. When doing such, it should also be possible to section off a map area, such that you could get an overlay (for example wireframe) of that area to work with, knowing which parts leads to where, which parts are above what.

ThingsCouldGetDicey
if we get the functionality of roofs we could use that to set as a roof tile in foundry which has unique benifits of obsucring sight outside a building and revealing sight within a building.
Building a 5 story mansion in a single multi level map would be great.
Also would be great for building an underground dungeon that goes up/down levels on the same map or a floating island above the ground level.
Adding the ability to copy entire levels and move them up/down and raising/lowering the elevation to the level above/below.
Forget all the little cosmetic things people are asking for, this feature would be a game changer for what people would be able to create.
Simple visualisation, a spiral staircase you could see the entire map with all levels in one view and then select 'per level' and go up/down the level view to add doors/windows or objects into each level to make them unique, once one level was created you could use the 'copy level' function for an easy and fast creation of the total structure.
Another great addition would be floating islands, like non connected, multi-level terrain. Could be hard to implement though.

Hadeda King
A slider is probably the best way to do this, with fixed increments for the various recognised levels, but the ability to move it freely as well, so we can make things at micro-elevations.
With this and rooftops, we basically have control to move the camera to focus on a layer and can export images for each layer for digital play.
Rooftops! The maps created in dungeon alchemist are sooo beautiful and then I have to take some crappie roof assets, somehow tweaked to fit my beautiful houses. That ist the opposite of satisfying. =D

Not fussed about multi-level but rooftops for the houses when you do outdoor maps so they don't just appear as black boxes for LOS would be nice. Not sure if Fantasy Grounds will support this however.

Jan Hoos
ooeeh! the export idea is neat as well!
Steven Weingärtner
I would like to add to this. Foundry VTT has great support for what they call "overhead tiles". Those tiles can have a a few different behaviors for when a token moves under it. Roofs are just one big use case for this (and it would be great if it came pre configured for the scene). But another use case is foliage. It would be awesome, if trees above a certain height would also be utilized in this way. So a tree looks just as it does now when further away, but once you step unter the tree with your token, the canopy is hidden but instead the trunk is visible.
This would probably mean, that the "base map" would have to be exported just with the trunks (and no roofs), while each roof / tree etc. would have to be a separately exported tile, so that it each tree can be hidden individually.
Besides this foundry also has the concept of "background" and "foreground" maps. So basically it would be possible to add the "floor" to the background, while walls and stuff on walls would be in the forground. The forground layer is always above tokens, but is never hidden (that's the main difference to overhead tiles I think). It's a nice touch to make sure that tokens do not step "over" a wall or a door frame, but instead are always drawn belowit.
I feel like DAs 3D approach would be an awesome fit to be able to export all these things to utilize foundrys features to maximum effect :D

currently you can only draw rooms at the base height, which makes it a problem when you want to create, say, a tower on a hill, or a mountaintop castle. having the ability to draw rooms directly on the terrain instead of the grid would be a good setting or even default for non-black parchment maps.
What I am looking for with levels is so I can show an iso 3D view of the 2 story "farmhouse" to my players from the outside and have a roof on it. I can then show the battle maps of the individual floors and export them separately. I cant show the iso view at the moment - especially without them currently seeing the layout inside the building, which I may not want to reveal to start with.
