How do I "Show Floor Only" permanently without showing below/above floors after creating a room?

Amrit Bhambra — Fri, 10 Jun 2022 08:42:10 GMT

Hello,

When I create a room on the first floor, the model refreshes and shows the surrounding room below and/or above.

How do I prevent this from happening?

Please see below for example.

Ground Floor Is created (Height - 0m-3.6m)

When I move onto the First Floor, it shows the below partition and rooms after I create a room on the first floor. (Height - 3.6-7.2)

See below.

First I select "Show floor Only"

But after I create a room it shows the below rooms.

How can I stop this as I don't want to select "Show floor only" after I create a room every single time. I only want to see the floor I'm working on.

When I'm working on massive projects it becomes quite an annoyance as sometimes I can't tell the difference between the DWG/DXF and the floor below including the partitions.

I've changed display settings as well as creating my own to get around this however none of this works.

Any advise would be appreciated.

Thanks

Zone Manager

Suggesting that the zone manager be reviewed.

Can we implement a change showing a rooms zone before potentially adding it to another zone.

I could have a hundred rooms split between 5 zones but every time I start a new zone in the manager it resets to show all rooms.

Is it possible to show only rooms which have not been previously selected or if they have been previously selected to have them colour coded or highlighted to show they are apart of a zone already.

For Example,

Room B008 is in Zone 1

When clicking on Zone 2, it will highlight room B008 showing that it has already been placed in zone 1.

Just a suggestion to help speed up processes.

Thanks,

Amrit

Roof Modelling

Amrit Bhambra — Mon, 25 Apr 2022 13:22:57 GMT

Currently modelling a building where my ground floor has rooms at three different heights -> staircase finishes at 12m (floor height) and a gym finishes at 7m and finally my offices/toilets/circulation which finishes at 3.6m. My first floor finishes 7.2m.

I've tried to create two separate flat roofs. The first floor flat roof at 7.2m and a ground floor flat roof which says it starts at 7.5m. The ground floor flat roof consists of 2 sections both drawn from a 3D tool where one starts at the staircase 12m height and the other starts at the gym 7m height. At roof setup the model says ground floor (roof at 7.5m). I get a ton of warning messages after I try to apply this.
Is it possible to alter this function to allow multiple roofs at different heights to be made to a single floor. Instead of one roof per floor?

Warning Messages.

Both roof sections shown are from a ground floor room (Sports hall and Staircase and finish at different heights)

Part L error - "At least 1 Zone needed"

Amrit Bhambra — Mon, 06 Dec 2021 13:14:41 GMT

Trying to create an EPC/SBEM certificate however an error pops up saying "At least 1 Zone needed." Version v10.15.1.23

Created a new workplace and workset.
Imported the DXF files and modelled the building ( Supermarket).
Did a copy of a few materials and changed their U-values for the project.

For the Part L calc, there are 3 zones which I've used and for each one a different HVAC system. I've created inputs for each one and when I've tried to run the EPC/results/compliance it comes up with the error message attached.

Throughout all this I have not encountered any error messages in notifications.

I've recreated the model in the same workplace however in a separate workset and the same error message displays.

Not sure what I've done wrong. How can I resolve this?
