Boundary Objects for Associative Spaces
Associative spaces are bounded by objects. An object must fulfill a number of
conditions to bound a space:
â–  The object must be a valid boundary object for associative spaces. For a
complete list, see Valid Boundary Objects for Associative Spaces on page
2905.
â–  The Bound Spaces property of the object must be set to Yes. For more
information, see Setting the Bound Spaces Property for Boundary Objects
on page 2910.
Valid Boundary Objects for Associative Spaces
The following table lists all objects that are valid as boundary objects for
associative spaces. There are different valid boundary objects for 2D/extruded
3D spaces and 3D freeform spaces. 3D freeform spaces must be bounded by
objects that have a 3D geometry; 2D and extruded 3D spaces can be bounded
by 2D linework, too.
All valid boundary objects must have their Bound Spaces property set to Yes
in order for associative spaces to be generated from them. The Bound Spaces
property for an object is located on the Properties palette. For objects that use
styles, the Bound Spaces property can also be set in the style. The default value
of the setting varies depending on the object type. Objects like walls and
curtain walls ave a default Bound Spaces value of Yes. Others, like structural
members or linework have a default Bound Spaces value of No. Change the
Bound Spaces properties of objects as needed to generate your spaces (as
described in Setting the Bound Spaces Property for Boundary Objects on page
2910).
IMPORTANT Objects that are set as boundary objects for associative spaces and
then are placed on a frozen or hidden layer still participate in the generation of
associative spaces. It is possible to generate spaces from invisible boundary objects.
If this is the case, review your layer settings, and unhide or unfreeze those layers
as necessary.
