What's the best way to check for walls that fall short of their upper level, or start past their lower level? Say you have a model for a high rise, where each level's walls are modelled "as built". Under that ideal, walls are split by levels: no walls that go from foundation to top floor are allowed.
The problem is, while modelling you might copy an entire level, and do a paste aligned to levels, and get a whole bunch of stories at once. But if the level height isn't a constant, of if for some reason there's an unconstrained wall, it might end up falling short of the top level... or floating above the bottom level.
Anyone have an easy way to detect this? I've been thinking of doing a wall schedule, and checking for certain warning conditions, for example if your top and bottom reference levels are the same, or if the wall has top offsets (which might indicate rising past or falling short of top level). Then isolating those elements, and inspecting them one by one. And setting an error parameter on the ones that require so they can be fixed.
I've also been looking into Navisworks, but I come to pretty much the same thing. Search set, which checks those same alert conditions.
Sounds like a lot of work and a pretty complicated way to get this done. I figure someone might have a better way to do it?
Create a 3d view that only has walls, floors, and roof categories visible. Run a Interference Check and choose to view collisions between Walls and Floors /Roofs.
You might also try using Dynamo for this.
