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

[Miller, Jessica]

Nick,

 

I went to the 3-D view and did as you suggested.  I made it so only the
spaces were visible.  Should the spaces all be shown on one plane (refer
to the Zones Image).  The zone highlighted in red is the zone I am
referencing that has the exterior walls showing up properly, but the
zone does not show up correct - it is just a generic rectangle (as
highlighted in red).

 

The Zones2 image has the zones on that one plane and the 3D image of the
building.

 

Thanks,

Jessica

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 --> Properties... -->
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.

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.
