<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I'll take a shot at explaining how I deal with changing spaces, although I'm sure someone else on here will have a more thorough explanation.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">(This is assuming that you're working in the detailed edit mode). Whenever I need to resize a space, I change the coordinates of the space polygon that the space is using. This will ensure that the walls/roofs/floors
stay assigned to the right spot and remain the correct size. In addition to altering the size of the space by changing the polygon size, you may need to adjust the floor polygon to reflect the new size of the whole floor.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">As a quick example- if I need to double the size of a space, I adjust the space polygon accordingly. As long as the roof and floor of the space are set to the top and bottom of the space respectively, they should
automatically change their shape/size to fit the adjusted polygon. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">It may take some trial and error with regards to the polygon's orientation in order to get everything correct.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I hope this makes sense and I didn't confuse you further!

<p class="MsoNormal">My firm and I have two projects for the same owner that are very similar. They consist of a sales area, a warehouse and repair bays. For the most part the buildings have the same design, except the warehouse and repair bays have doubled
in size. I’ve figured out how to move the walls to increase those areas, but I can’t figure out how to expand the roof and floor to cover the new area.
