Changing the Area Calculation Standard for Existing Spaces
If you have created a number of spaces in your drawing with an area calculation
standard, and then change the area calculation standard for the drawing, the
spaces get recalculated according to the rules of the new standard. The
classification definition for the new area calculation standard is inserted in
the drawing, but the space might need to get re-classified according to the
new standard. For example, if you calculate your spaces according to the SIS
standard, and classify a space as “Shaft”, and then re-calculate the spaces
according to the BOMA standard, then the initial BOMA classification is set
to “Unspecified.” You need to select a corresponding BOMA classification,
like for example “Major Vertical Penetration.”
For more information, see Specifying an Area Calculation Standard for a
Drawing on page 2974 and Classifying a Space According to an Area Calculation
Standard on page 2976.
When a new area calculation standard is selected for the drawing, the
classification definition for the previously used standard is not removed, but
remains in the drawing. This can be helpful if you need to switch back and
forth between different standards, and do not want to lose the classifications
of the currently not active standard every time you switch.
If you know that you will not be using a certain standard anymore, you can
delete its classification definition from Style Manager. To delete a classification
definition, it must not be referenced by any objects. To remove the references
to the classification standard, change all spaces that use a classification from
this definition to *Unspecified*.
Working with Drawings with Different Area Calculation
Standards
When you exchange drawings that contain spaces with boundary offsets
calculated by an area calculation standard, the recipient of the drawing must
have the same area calculation standard available in their version of AutoCAD
Architecture. If you try to open the drawing in a version of AutoCAD
Architecture where you cannot select that standard in the AEC Options page
- meaning that this standard is not installed - all spaces will be drawn with a
solution tip icon. To remedy this, copy the DLL for the necessary standard
into \\Autodesk AutoCAD Architecture 2011\Space Calculation Standards\ folder.
