Description Space Type Property
Indicates whether the space is associative. An associative space is
generated from bounding objects like walls and slabs. You can disconnect
the associativity of a space after adding it.
NOTE If you insert a non-associative space, the Associative field reads
No and is read-only. To change the space associativity, see “ Changing
the Associativity of a Space ” on page 1604 .
All Associative
Specifies the offset type by which the 4 space boundaries (base boundary,
net boundary, usable boundary, and gross boundary) are calculated. All Offset Boundaries
■ Manual: you use the grips on the individual boundaries to move
them to the desired offsets.
■ By Style: you define the offsets between the space boundaries in
the space style.
■ By Standard: the offsets between the space boundaries are
determined by the area calculation standard you have chosen for
the drawing. For more information, see
“ Specifying an Area
Calculation Standard for a Drawing ” on page 1629 .
Identifies any calculation modifiers for the space. A calculation modifier
is a formula that modifies area and perimeter values of the boundaries
of the space.
NOTE To apply the modifier to the net, usable, and gross boundaries
of a space, you need to create and apply a property set definition that
contains properties for the calculated area and perimeter values for those
3 boundaries. For more information, see “ Schedule Properties of Spaces ”
on page 1721 .
All Calculation Modifiers
Accesses the Space/Zone Manager worksheet, in which you enter
information used to process spaces in engineering applications. For more
information, see
“ Editing Space Surface Properties ” on page 1678 .
All Space/Zone Manager
Specifies the type of space to be created: Non-Associative Spaces
(only available during
adding a space and in
tool properties) Create Type
■ Insert: inserts a space according to the target dimension settings in
the space style. For information on setting target dimensions of a
space in the space style, see
“ Specifying Target Dimensions for
the Space ” on page 1686 .
■ Rectangle: lets you create a rectangular space with user-defined
dimensions.
■ Polygon: lets you create a space composed of user-defined line and
arc segments.
■ Generate: lets you generate a space from bounding objects. The
space is associative to the bounding objects.
Specifies whether the individual segments of a polygonal space are lines
or arcs. Non-associative
polygonal spaces (only
available during adding
a space and in tool
properties) Segment type
Associative spaces (only
available during adding
a space and in tool
properties) Generate Space Category
