Constructing Border Zone in Construction Area

Shows step-by-step how to edit construction areas to construct border zones.

Before you begin

Construct a border zone in a construction area in order to be able to fill the border zone with a pipe laying with a different grid.

Requirement:

Construction areas have already been created.

Navigate to:

Tip:

If there are already radiant heating circuits or radiant cooling circuits on the construction areas, these can be re-laid after editing the construction area. They do not have to be deleted before.

Project tab ➤ Radiant Heating and Cooling discipline ➤ Create Tab

Radiant Heating cooling Create Tab room Linear Revit

Initial situation:

Construction surface room Linear Revit

Procedure

  1. Open the Construction areas section.

    Area construction area Linear Revit

  2. Click Boundaries.

    The Revit menu displays the Modify | Place Area Boundary tab and the Draw section.

    Modify place construction area Linear Revit
  3. Use the Revit drawing functions to construct the area boundary, such as a Line. The area boundary must be closed.
    Note:

    In some Revit versions, the Revit drawing function Select lines is activated by default and you are prompted to select walls. This function is only conditionally suitable for constructing area boundaries. Instead, we recommend using the other Revit drawing functions, such as Line, Rectangle or Polygon.

    The construction area is adapted to the new area boundary.

  4. In the Construction areas section, click Area <
  5. Move the cursor to the border zone and click.

Results

The border zone is constructed.

What to do next

The border zone can be laid with a narrower grid using the Pipe laying < function.
