Office Systemwall Modelling - Room Boundary Issue

[kempajulian]

Hello,

I'm running into a problem with my workflow of modelling Office Wall Systems:

Now my way to model these walls and represent their individual elements and profiles was to use curtain walls.
Which is fine, except that room boundarys extend only to one Boundary (usually the Axis of the curtain wall) from both sides. Resulting in at least one room (from either side) having a miscalculated Area.

I am missing a way to define both outer surfaces of the curtain Panel as room bounding.

In Example1 two rooms are seperated by a curtain wall showing the problem with the boundary.
In Example2 two rooms are seperated by a regular wall showing the bahaviour I need.

I'm aware of room separators, but as i need to draw quite a lot of System Walls for office buildings that's not an option i am looking forward to.

I hope there are some ways to model System Walls with correct room areas.

except room separator I don't think there is a other way...

So is this with added room separators the autodesk way for doing Office System Walls?

I can hardly believe that, since it requires me to draw (and mantain the correctness) of 1 System + 2 Room Separators for each wall.

Is there no alternative workflow for office system walls, as this one doesn't seem intended for it...

This Problem can't be new, right?

It uses the location line of the curtain wall as room boundary, so either use mullion/panels which are offset to one side or use a seperation line.
