Best Practices for Space Styles:
■ Spaces can have a “Name” property assigned. These are derived from a List
Definition. The List Definition should be assigned to the style so that you
have a valid list of names to select from when establishing the space object’ s
properties.
■ Space styles should have materials assigned to their “Floor” and “Ceiling”
components.
■ Because space styles can work in conjunction with Zone Definitions you may
want to store them in the same library file to make it easier to make changes
later.
Structural Members
Structural Member Shape Definitions
Structural Member Shape Definitions should be named according to the
structural member style(s) for which they are intended to be a part of. For
example, if you are defining a steel bar joist member style and you’ve defined
a structural member shape definition on which you plan to base the bottom
chord component of the joist, you would name it simply “Steel Joist Bottom
Chord”.
Structural Member Styles
Structural members should be named according to the specific structural object
type that they are to represent, including dimensional information.
Structural Member Style Naming Conventions:
<Structural member type> <Size>
NOTE Frequently standard structural shape designations include the size of the
member. In these cases, the structural name can simply be the structural
designation.
Example Structural Member Style Names:
