For Offset boundaries, select how the 4 space boundaries (base, net, usable, and gross boundary) are offset
from each other:
■
Manual: The offsets of the net, usable, and gross boundaries from the base boundary can be manually
edited with grips. Each boundary has its own set of grips, except for the base boundary, which is
generated from the bounding objects.
■
By Style: The offsets of the net, usable, and gross boundaries from the base boundary are defined in
the space style. The boundaries have no grips. For more information, see “
Specifying Space Boundary
Offsets in a Space Style
” on page 1687.
■
By Standard: The offsets of the net, usable, and gross boundaries from the base boundary are defined
by the boundary offset calculation standard selected for the drawing. The boundaries have no grips.
For more information, see “
Specifying an Area Calculation Standard for a Drawing
” on page 1629.

For Create type, select Generate.

To add a calculation modifier to the space, click the setting for Calculation modifiers, and select one or
more calculation modifiers to add to the space.
For information about calculation modifiers, see “
Adding and Removing Calculation Modifiers for Spaces
”
on page 1724.
10
Before selecting options under the Generate Space category, scroll down to the Component Dimensions
category, and for Geometry type, select Freeform.
The geometry type determines which other options are available for generating the space, so the geometry
type should be defined before proceeding with the remaining settings.
11
For Boundary set, specify how the bounding objects for the space should be selected:
Then…
If you want to…
select Reset visible boundaries.
let the software detect spaces in the visible drawing area
select Select boundaries.
select bounding objects manually in the drawing
When you generate a 3D freeform space, the following properties are predefined and read-only:
■
Filter boundary set: 3D freeform spaces can only be generated from bounding AEC objects. Regardless
of what selection is displayed here, the boundary set used is always AEC Objects. For a list of objects
included in that selection, see “
Bounding Objects for Associative 3D Freeform Spaces
” on page 1588.
If an AEC object has been defined as non-bounding in its style or its object properties, it will be filtered
out, regardless of whether it is included in the boundary set. For more information, see “
Setting an
Object Style as Bounding
” on page 1590 and “
Setting an Object Instance as Bounding
” on page 1590.
IMPORTANT If your selection set includes walls with different bounding conditions, make sure to put the
walls in different cleanup groups. If a non-bounding wall intersects with a bounding wall, and they are in
the same cleanup group, the cleanup with the non-bounding wall will create a hole in the bounding wall
through which the space leaks. As a result, no spaces can be generated even if the geometry would otherwise
be closed.
■
Ignore holes: You cannot explicitly exclude objects from the geometry of a 3D freeform space.
If an object is a valid bounding object for 3D freeform spaces and is set to be bounding, it will be
deducted from the surrounding space. In any other case, the object will be ignored during the generation
of the surrounding space.
■
Maximum gap size: No gaps in the bounding objects are allowed in the generation of 3D freeform
spaces. If the bounding objects are not completely closed, no valid boundary for the space is found.
12
If you need to generate spaces within boundaries that already contain a space, select Yes for Allow
overlapping spaces.
13
Expand Component Dimensions.
