Zones
Zones allow you to group your spaces together for use in area calculation
schemas and presentations (showing spaces color-coded by department, for
example). Additionally, engineers who are using AutoCAD MEP can use zones
to perform complex analysis calculations and reporting.
Zone Styles
Beyond being as descriptive as possible there are no naming conventions for
Zone Styles.
Best Practices for Zone Styles:
â– If you are using Zone Templates to automate the organization of your
zones, then you must store the zone styles in the same drawing as the zone
template styles.
â– You may want to use a style-level display override for your zone styles for
presentation displays to control hatching and color.
NOTE In addition to using style display overrides to control the display of
zones, you might also consider using a Display Theme Style configured to
display Spaces based on a property value.
Calculation Modifier Styles
Calculation Modifier Style Naming Conventions:
<Calculation description> <Purpose>
Example Calculation Modifier Style Names:
Example NameCalculation Modifier Style Description
10 Percent Commons FactorModifier to add ten percent to a calculated
area to account for a commons factor add
on in a commercial office building.
Zone Template Styles
Zone Templates allow you to automate the organization of your zones into a
tree structure. Aside from being as descriptive as reasonably possible there are
no naming conventions.
