    "Flood Area to create space" won't select complete area

    Product(s): AECOsim Building Designer
    Version(s): 08.11.09.829
    Environment: N\A
    Area: Space
    Subarea: N\A

    Problem Description

    The "Flood Area to create space" tool doesn't take into account the complet
    e boundary of a room if there are some details in the room such as a slab offset. The "Flood Area to create space" tool will snap on every little detail or piece of other structures under or above the clip level.

    Steps to Resolve

     

    When Flood Area to create space is selected there are options available that will allow you to create the space depending on scenario or situation:

     

    • Associate Flood Spaces — This setting creates an associative space and the definition is automatically modified and updated when associated elements (such as walls) are modified and updated when on.

     

    • Allow Holes Larger Than — Voids and holes defined by closed regions and shapes within the space boundary remain undisturbed in the space area when on. The minimum recognizable size of the hole is specified in the setting field.

    - Note: The Display Unit for this setting can be changed. Go to the Preferences dialog, select the Building Architectural category, turn on the Unit of Display setting in the DataGroup Area Preferences group box, and enter the desired unit of display.

    • Allow Flooded Spaces — This flood option recognizes the outline of a space boundary when on. When off, space boundaries are ignored and spaces are flooded over. This setting is particularly useful when recognizing areas between space definitions, such as hallways and areas consumed by traffic and egress. It is also useful for recognizing total space used when creating program areas for schematic massing.

     

    • Ignore Selection Set — The Flood method for spaces recognizes selection sets. If a selection set is active and this option is off, the Create Space by Flood works as it normally would except that the user can only flood to closed areas contained in the selection set. If this option is on, the command ignores the selection set when a new space is created. This option is very useful when creating a single space to represent an entire department. Simply add all interior walls within a department to a selection set, turn this option on, and flood the department.

     

    • To Wall Center Lines — This setting extends the space boundary to the center lines of applicable walls when on, and is very useful when differences need to be computed for net, raw and gross building area.

     

    • Maximum Wall Gap — This setting extends partial walls and wall partitions to create space definitions for areas that are generally considered open when on. Areas in a building that are not clearly defined by fixed walls, are defined by this setting because their boundaries are temporarily closed when the space is created.
