Spaces

Playing around with spaces for the first time, and running into some basic problems.

  1. According to the help file, there should be a Bentley SpacePlanner shortcut. I am running AECOSim SS4, and can't find that shortcut.
  2. According to the help file...

    When Bentley SpacePlanner is used in the Building Designer environment, 3D space placement functionality is disabled. 3D space planning and placement is available only when Bentley SpacePlanner is running in the MicroStation environment.

  3. How do I start SpacePlanner in the Microstation environment
  4. Can I get volumes of spaces when running in the Building Designer environment?
  5. Can I get datagroup properties associated to spaces, when running in Microstation environment?

Any hints of some experts about how to get the best out of spaces?

  • Hi Andreas,

    Although I did not find a shortcut either, but I was able to load the space planner within ABD via the pull down Building Designer > Load Space Planner.  I also see that once the Space Planner is loaded you will be able to convert shapes (2D) to a choice of Building, Floor or Spaces from the Create Space from Shape tool.  You may be able to find answers for the rest of your questions after loading the Space Planner.  Hope this helps and good luck.

    PS.  I may be wrong but my understanding is that to associate spaces to datagroup properties, you more likely would need to create Family/Part in the dataset then within the ABD environment create and attach definitions as required in the DataCatelog.
