Spaces

In a project with two floors, where some rooms have double height, I have tried to create a buiding view of the top floor plan from the composition model. But no matter where I set the forward view the room names from the first floor show up in the drawing, even where they shoud be hidden by the slab. Do spaces behave differently from other graphics?
  • Anna-Brita,  Thanks, it looks like you discovered an issue in which we will need to resolve. FYI, if you define spaces on the second floor, the second floor spaces will prevent the first floor spaces from displaying.

    Thanks,

  • Anna-Brita,

    Here is some addditional information on how space annotation work within Architectural Rules, which may help you with your situation.

    Architectural annotation rules only annotate elements which are cut. In the case of spaces, the space's ceiling height decide the range of the space. In your situation, the space is hidden below the slab, but the space's ceiling height goes beyond and through the slab and into the cut plane of the clip volume and therefore annotated.

    All annotation from Architectural rules can be hidden individually by right-clicking on the annotation and selecting the "Hide Annotations" form the context menu. Similarly they can be unhidden by selecting the element to be annotated, right-clicking and select "Unhide Annotation from the context menu. 

    Hope this helps,

  • Hi, Anna-Brita,

    For the first floor spaces showing up on the second floor, you should be able to right mouse click on the Space Label (in your sheet) and from the popup menu select "Hide Annotation".

  • Thank you, with the right space height only the right annotations are visible, and Hide Annotation is also helpful.

    But another problem I found is that annotation for a space that is deleted in the 3D file is not removed in the drawing sheet.

  • I guess the annotations in the sheet are being placed automatically,you can have them removed from sheet by 2 ways.

    1)Hide the annotation.This way you can have only selected annotation to be hidden.

    2)Toggle Off the Spaces rule.This will remove annotation from all spaces associated with that drawing.

     HTH
