Exporting COBie zones

[Anonymous]

Hi,

Hopefully simple but I'm just not seeing it. I have a project Revit model consisting of multiple buildings. The client wants COBie spread sheets pertaining only to one specific area. I have set up a zone consisting of all the spaces in that specific area. But can I export just the data pertaining to that particular zone (area)? Not seeing in the COBie Toolkit Set Up or Modify Set Up where this can be done?

Thanks,

Paul

Hi Viveca,

Thanks but still, not seeing it. Simply put, I have 8 areas or Zones numbered 1 thru 8. I only want to extract rooms and other attached data from Zone 4. The client does not want to see any other zones on the COBie spread sheet. No where in Parameter Setting or Batch Modify can I find a reference to the Zones I set up in Zone Manager.

Regards,

Paul

Hi again, Viveka

I did manage to limit the export to the spaces needed by going into the COBie generated spread sheet in the Revit model and unchecking the boxes next to each space that did not apply (before doing the final COBie Toolkit export). There has to be an easier way but it seemed to work.
