2. In the AEC Options, the Automatic update of associative spaces has been disabled You can choose to not automatically update associative spaces each time a change in geometry occurs. This can be useful to improve performance. If the Automatically update associative spaces option on the AEC Object Settings tab of the Options dialog has been cleared, then a space will not automatically react to changes in the bounding geometry. You can either reselect the automatic update option, or, if you do not want to have automatic updates, you can select the space, right-click, and click Update Space Geometry ➤ Selected Spaces. NOTE When you activate the automatic update of spaces, only those spaces will be updated that had no bounding objects added while the update was off. For example, if you add a dividing wall to a space while the automatic update is off, and then turn the automatic update on, the space will not be divided by the wall. You can either manually update the space, or delete and redraw the dividing wall after turning on the automatic update. 3. Grip-editing the bounding geometry has introduced a new bounding object for the space If a grip-edit operation on the bounding geometry has resulted in additional bounding objects, the space will not automatically update to reflect this change, but will display a defect marker. In that case, select the space, right-click, and click Update Space Geometry ➤ Selected Spaces. 4.The change in the bounding geometry has invalidated the bounding set Verify that the change in the geometry has not accidentally opened up a gap in the bounding geometry. This could happen if you move a wall so that it no longer intersects neighboring walls. It could also happen if a wall is moved so that it intersects with another wall that is non-bounding and is in the same cleanup group. I am trying to manually update an associative space by running the Update Space Geometry command from the context menu. However, the space does not update and does not recognize all of its bounding objects.What can I do? These 2 factors can be responsible for unexpected update results: ■ The Update Space Geometry command uses the current viewport's zoom value. This might lead to unexpected results, if you have zoomed in on the drawing area between generating and updating the space. Zoom out so that the space and its bounding objects are entirely visible, and try to update again. ■ When you click the Update Space Geometry command, the last-used object filter from the Properties palette is used. For example, if you created an associative space with the AEC objects, lines, arcs, circles, and polylines filter, and afterwards created another associative space with the Walls only filter, then bounding lines and polylines will not be recognized if you try to update the first space. I have updated an associative space.The base boundary updates correctly, but the net, usable, and gross boundaries stay as they were before the update.What causes that behavior? If the net, usable, and gross boundaries of an associative space do not get updated when the base boundary is updated after a change in the bounding geometry, the boundary offset has been set to Manual in the Properties palette. Manual net, usable, and gross boundaries do not automatically react to changes in the base boundary. To make the net, usable and gross boundaries update automatically when the base boundary is updated, you need to define the boundary offset of the space as By Style or By Standard on the Properties palette. 1610 | Chapter 36 Spaces
