Space Program: Check Adjacencies
The Check Adjacencies utility is made to determine if the adjacency
rules defined on the web side are being met by the current design in Revit.
In the above dialog box, choose which rules you would
like to check against the model.
In general, the application is looking for combinations
of Room Types on the same level that have some kind of rule associated
with them.
Modeling Issues
When modeling with low-definition Space Programming Families, we less
ability to do precise adjacency than later in the design process. For
Space Programming Families:
- We cannot do Door-to-Door measurements (because we don't know where
the doors are).
- We CAN do center-to-center and adjacent (touching) checks.
- The center-to-center checks will be the "straight-line"
distance, again because we don't have a clear picture of doors and
circulation at this phase.
Once we have moved to Room-based modeling, we will calculate adjacency
distances based on Revit
path-of-travel.
Adjacency Results
The utility will show all of the passing and failing combinations of
rooms, based on the adjacency rules, as shown here:
You can:
- Click on a room/area/generic model/mass element, and it will "Show"/Zoom
To that element.
- You can click on the passing/failing rule under the element, and
the utility will show you a line representing the calculated distance:
- Straight-line Model Line, in the case of Space Families
- Path-of-Travel lines in the case of Rooms
