Set default for Room Upper Limit in Template for Schedules

Hello,

 

I am busy setting up a template with a schedule that counts by room (at Level 1). However, a couple of items are not counted due being higher than the Upper Limit of the containing room - see image attached. I would like to set all rooms that are created's default Upper Limit to be "Level 2", instead of Level 1.

Any guidance would be appreciated - thanks!

If I understand correctly, change your Computational Height for the Level.  

 

...actually, I'm confused. Can you elaborate?

Change Room computations to include volume.

@barthbradley yes, sorry - its not well explained. 

 

I am in the process of creating a template for the office, with a quantity schedule that includes the room designation of each family. This count separation by room/area plays a major role in our warehouse design process.

 

Workflow:

1. Open template. 

2. Create several rooms.

3. Insert multiple instances of rack family into each room.

4. Use Furniture Schedule with imported Room:Name column to separate quantity counts by room.

 

However, by default the room schedule only includes objects (pallets, beams, etc.) which are within Level 1 and the Limit Offset of 4000mm from Level 1. Racking goes high, and all objects above 4000mm are excluded from room designation. Therefore every time I create a room I need to change the Upper Limit to Level 2 (Top of Racking), or the limit Offset to some arbitrary value like 30000mm, so that it includes all objects in the schedule, up to the warehouse roof.

 

I would like the Upper Limit of rooms for the template to be defaulted at Level 2 instead, so that every time one opens the template and runs through the workflow above it will automatically schedule all objects within that room regardless of the object's height, and the end-user won't have to change the Upper Limit/Limit Offset each time. 

I hope this explains my issue properly?


@ToanDN, changing to Areas and Volumes made no difference in schedule count. 

Doesn't work: Room Upper Limit set to level 1 with Areas & Volume computation on:

Works: Room Upper Limit set to Level 2, with Area computation only:

It would of been nice if the Areas & Volumes setting worked, as this is a template setting that would affect the behaviour of all rooms created in future. My issue here is that every time I create a new room, it defaults back to Level 1 and has to be changed. 

 

Thanks for the assistance!

Are the uncounted items outside of the room volume? If so, why should they be included in the list of the room's items?

As mentioned before, by default the room count quantities seem to be from Level 1 up to a 4000mm offset above. Why are these counts not defined by the walls that define the room (you have to select walls to create a room right)?

 

The change of the Unbounded Height under Room Dimensions is what seems to make the difference in whether items are counted in the schedule or not, not the volume, as shown in the video link below:

Note in the video above that changing the Unbounded Height does not change the room volume. Your logic makes sense though: the Upper Limit should be the same as the room height (height to top of walls of room).
