If you want to... Then... specify a ceiling thickness enter a value for Ceiling thickness. specify the distance between the top of the space ceiling enter the appropriate value for Height above ceiling. to the top of the space specify the distance between the bottom of the space floor and the bottom of the space enter the appropriate value for Height below floor. specify the combined height of ceiling height, ceiling thickness, and height above ceiling enter a value for Default surface height. 16 Select one of the following options for Justification to specify the vertical position of the space insertion point relative to the space: ■ Top of floor ■ Bottom of floor ■ Bottom of space below floor (available only if the height of the space below the floor is bigger than 0) NOTE When generating a 2D or extruded 3D space, you do not need to define calculation cut planes, because they can only differ from the base profile of a space in non-extruded space shapes. 17 If you have selected Reset visible boundaries for Boundary Set, do one of the following: If you want to... Then... generate one space at a time generate spaces by picking internal points within the desired boundary sets or object outlines. generate all spaces in the visible drawing area on the command line, enter g (Generate All). refresh the visible drawing area for generating on the command line, enter v (reset Visible boundaries) and press ENTER. spaces after zooming or panning in the Then, commence with one of the 2 command options above. drawing NOTE If you are generating a large number of spaces, especially if any of them are in external references, the Analyze Spaces progress dialog is displayed. 18 If you have selected Manual for Boundary set, select the bounding objects in the drawing, and then do one of the following: If you want to... Then... generate spaces from the selected objects press ENTER. Then, enter g (Generate All) to generate spaces. cancel the selection set and reselect bounding objects enter n (New) on the command line, and press ENTER. Then, select new bounding objects, and generate spaces from them, as described in the previous step. refresh the visible drawing area for on the command line, enter v (reset Visible Boundaries) and press ENTER. generating spaces after zooming or panning Then commence with selecting bounding objects, and generating spaces. in the drawing Updating Associative Spaces Because associative spaces are defined by their bounding geometry, they must be updated when the bounding geometry changes. You can opt to have associative spaces update automatically whenever there is a change to bounding geometry in the current drawing. (The space must be updated manually if the changed geometry is in an external reference.) Be aware, however, that an instantaneous update for each such change can slow down performance, especially in large 1598 | Chapter 36 Spaces
