    Default Spaces matching Room Areas

    Hello,

    I have a quesstion, when there is a room that will be through more than one level can that spaces match the rooms with with out having to adjusting the the upper limits on the spaces. the Architect has all there rooms defaulted to 8ft therefore my spaces default at that height and I have to adjust each one, labor intensive. If I go back to the arch and have them adjust ther rooms to correct height will my spaces match them or does it always default to 8 ft?

    Trying to understnd and trying not to double up spaces because of the levels and auto populate comand that revit has.

    Default Re: Spaces matching Room Areas

    I believe what you are descibing is the default. RMEP should 'remember' what settings you did last and use those. It is difficult to 'double up' in that Revit will fuss at you when it sees two Spaces in the same place.

    Dennis,
    I understand the default aspect but how can you set the space height when the room is through more that one level so you do not have two spaces in that area. when you generate the auto spaces per level

    Look at the space in a section view. You can drag the upper limit to wherever you want. If you want the space to automatically go up to the next level, you'll have to make sure the architect sets that ceiling to non-bounding as well as changing your Space upper limit to the Level above.

    When you place your space on the options bar set the level to the floor above and set the offset to zero. HTH
