room on 2 level

[Yien_Chao]

hello

I have an example of a staircase that turns 90 degrees between levels. however, I would like the room to be in both volumes. I tried with a volume room calculation, but it only works partially. do you have a suggestion?

thks

Hi!

change the upper limit to the desired level

If havent a lower level change the base offset

[Yien_Chao]

 got this...

Place the room on level 2 and drag the bottom grip down to level 1.

[GustavoUbriaco]

Ok 

this happens your room is placed in lower level place on the level 2 an add base offset.

You're doing like this

[Yien_Chao]

i did exactly this.. but no success.

it always works partially.

[GustavoUbriaco]

walls make this a little bit hard but if you play with floor elevations levels and walls could works

[barthbradley]

Did you activate VOLUME Calculations?  

[Yien_Chao]

yes! and the build is the same.

Seems to work here.  Area and Volume.  

[barthbradley]

Scratch that, @Yien_Chao. I see what you are trying to do now.  Don't think you can get there with 1 room.   

[Yien_Chao]

thank you for trying

[GustavoUbriaco]

With analytical spaces will works.

or if I were you I'd create a mass to get that volume information

i see.. bice try but we need it to be room.

You want it to be Room because you need the color in a color scheme on both levels or because you need the Volume?

[Yien_Chao]

Need it for volume calculation and tag on plan.

Think i will just duplicate the room then.

Normally a Space volume is used for HVAC calculation, not sure what would a Room volume can be used for.  

For tagging, create two rooms with identical data (name, number, etc...), one on each level.  You can group the room schedule by number un untick itemize box so the two rooms shown as one row.  Set the Volume field to Calculate Totals to get the overall volume.
