Classifying a Space According to an Area Calculation Standard
If you have generated a space that has its boundary offsets determined by an area calculation standard, you may need
to classify the space according to the selected standard, if that is a requirement of the standard. For example, the BOMA
standard requires classifying spaces according to their space type.
1 Select a space that has its boundary offsets defined by an area calculation standard.
2 On the Properties palette, click the Extended Data tab.
3 For Classification, the classification definition belonging to the area calculation standard defined for this
drawing is displayed.
For example, if you have selected the BOMA area calculation standard for your drawing, the BOMA
classification definition is displayed.
4 Click the setting for the required classification type, and select a classification in the Select Classification
worksheet.
5 Click OK.
Changing the Area Calculation Standard for Existing Spaces
If you have created a number of spaces in your drawing with an area calculation standard, and then change the area
calculation standard for the drawing, the spaces get recalculated according to the rules of the new standard. The
classification definition for the new area calculation standard is inserted in the drawing, but the space might need to
get re-classified according to the new standard. For example, if you calculate your spaces according to the SIS standard,
and classify a space as “Shaft”, and then re-calculate the spaces according to the BOMA standard, then the initial BOMA
classification is set to “Unspecified.” You need to select a corresponding BOMA classification, like for example “Major
Vertical Penetration.”
For more information, see “ Specifying an Area Calculation Standard for a Drawing ” on page 1629 and “ Classifying a Space
According to an Area Calculation Standard ” on page 1630.
When a new area calculation standard is selected for the drawing, the classification definition for the previously used
standard is not removed, but remains in the drawing. This can be helpful if you need to switch back and forth between
different standards, and do not want to lose the classifications of the currently not active standard every time you
switch.
If you know that you will not be using a certain standard anymore, you can delete its classification definition from
Style Manager. To delete a classification definition, it must not be referenced by any objects. To remove the references
to the classification standard, change all spaces that use a classification from this definition to *Unspecified*.
Working with Drawings with Different Area Calculation Standards
When you exchange drawings that contain spaces with boundary offsets calculated by an area calculation standard,
the recipient of the drawing must have the same area calculation standard available in their version of AutoCAD
Architecture. If you try to open the drawing in a version of AutoCAD Architecture where you cannot select that standard
in the AEC Options page - meaning that this standard is not installed - all spaces will be drawn with a defect marker.
To remedy this, copy the DLL for the necessary standard into \\Autodesk AutoCAD Architecture 2008\Space Calculation
