Direct Creation and Assignment of Locations in Sheets

[Michael-Mair]

Currently, it is possible to manually create locations as areas in a sheet. The problem is that each location must be individually assigned to the sheets and then the area defined. It would be very helpful and more efficient if areas could be created directly from the sheet and assigned to the location. This should work similarly to assets, where it is possible to select an existing asset and then draw the area directly in the sheet.

Proposed Workflow:

1. Open Sheet and Autodesk Build Sheets
2. Function: Create New Room Area
3. Select Existing Location
4. Draw Room Area

This improvement would significantly simplify the workflow and increase efficiency.

A feature to add locations automatically would be even more helpful. Build should at least be able to read a floor plan and create areas based on named rooms, especially if those rooms are full enclosed by four walls. It is very time consuming to do this process manually, and it is not even worth it to create locations if you have an extremely large project. Locations are linked to many different elements in a project (issues, RFIs, punchlist, etc), and if locations could be created autonomously would save a lot of time on the front and back ends of a project.
