Floors or (suspended) ceilings are not detected

Problem

When detecting a building from a model with LINEAR Building, floors or ceilings/suspended ceilings are not detected.

Possible cause: upper and lower offset

The upper and/or lower offsets are set so that the MEP space is not adjacent to the components.

Solution

Make sure that the values for Limit Offset and Base Offset are set correctly in the LINEAR properties of the MEP spaces. If the zone boundaries in the section view are within the components, there are usually no problems with the detection of floors and ceilings either.

Tip:

In the case of freely modeled floors with ramps (e.g. in underground garages), problems can still arise in individual cases during detection. If you have access to the architectural model, you can try to reset the shape during detection (Edit > Storey ceiling).

Possible cause: Room bounding deactivated

In the Revit-properties the option Room bounding is deactivated.

Solution

Select the respective floors/ceilings and activate the Room bounding option in the Revit-Properties.
