UPPET LIMIT AND OFFSET FOR SPACE

Hi there,

I need help please. 

If I have a building, level 0 is 0, level 1 is 5000 and level 2 is 10000 mm.

What is the upper limit and offset for FLOOR PLAN level 0?

 

Please see below information:

  1. On the Options Bar, do the following:
    • For Upper Limit, specify the level from which to measure the upper boundary of the room.

      For example, if you are adding a room to a Level 1 floor plan, and you want the room to extend from Level 1 to Level 2 or some point above Level 2, specify an Upper Limit of Level 2.

    • For Offset, measuring from the Upper Limit level, enter the distance at which the upper boundary of the room occurs. Enter a positive number to go above the Upper Limit level, or enter a negative number to go below it. The default is 10’ (4000 mm).
    • Indicate the desired orientation of the room tag.
    • To include a leader line with the room tag, select Leader.
    • For Room, select New to create a new room, or select an existing room from the list.

You can set them as you wish...Upper Limit and offset are part of the inputs used to calculate the room volume. That being said, the Upper Limit does not necessarily need to be up to the level above. It could for instance be

  1. Up till the Suspended Ceiling
  2. OR it could also cover multiple levels (ie: 2 level or 3 levels above)

If your intent is to have it up to the level above (Level 1 as per your example) then both options below will give the same results for rooms 1 and 2

 

Option A: Room 2 - 

  • Upper Limit: Level 1 
  • Limit Offset: 0

Option B: Room 1

  • Upper Limit: Level 0
  • Offset: 5000
