Revit smoke detection coverage

[Anonymous]

Dear all,

I am busy with giving smoke detectors a detection range and making this visible.

My question to you is how to make a filled region responsive to its nearby wall so that it does not overlap to the other side of the wall. A smoke detector could, just like a room is placed, scan it surroundings to give an impression of the smoke detection coverage. This could be usefull early in one's design process.

Any information would be appreciated.

Kind regards,

Easy answer, you can not.

I assume the detection range is part of the smoke detector family or a separate family?

You could make the range flexible/parametric so that you could cut off corners of the range.

For more complicated rooms (with multiple or odd shaped corners) you probably would have to resort to placing a hatch manually
