[Equest-users] 2-D Floor Plans - Strange Rectangle in Background

[Nick Caton]

Jessica,

 

First, congratulations on getting Revit into eQuest!  

 

I have a guess: I think you're observing a rectangular spaces overlayed on the exterior walls.  Try going to 3D view, right click the "Project..." item at the top of the component tree à Properties... à check the box to show spaces and see if you observe rectangular boxes protruding from your shell anywhere.

 

If this is the case, the implication is you have slightly misshapen spaces, but with correctly shaped/defined walls (hopefully) associated to the correct spaces.  Envelope loads would calculate correctly but some internals and sizing/capacities involving the space volume/area would be slightly off.

Subject: [Equest-users] 2-D Floor Plans - Strange Rectangle in Background

 

Good morning,

 

I have used a Revit model and created spaces, making each space its own zone.  Then I exported to GBS and then to eQuest.

 

The 2D floor plan has a strange rectangular space in every floor plan for floors 2-5.  The correct space outline is there, but when I click on the main space, that strange rectangular space (2D_Image) is there.

 

Does anyone know what might be causing this?  I am assuming it has to do with something when I created the spaces.
