(You may have to scroll to display the desired tool.)

On the Properties palette, expand Basic, and expand General.

Select a style.

Enter a name for the space.

If the space style has a name list associated with it, you can select a name from the drop-down list. For
more information, see “

Attaching a List Definition to a Space Style

” on page 1687.

Select a tag for the space.

If no space tags are contained in the list, you can drag a tag into the drawing from the Content Browser.
You can also create your own space tags from multi-view blocks.

NOTE The Associative property is interlinked with the Create type. If the Create type is Generate, the Associative
setting defaults to Yes. If the Create type is Insert, Rectangle, or Polygon, the Associative setting defaults to No
and becomes read-only.

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.

For Boundary set, specify how the bounding objects for the space should be selected:

Then…

If you want to…

select Reset visible boundaries.

automatically let the software detect the bounding
objects visible in the drawing area

select Select boundaries.

select bounding objects manually in the drawing

To determine which object types should be used as bounding objects, select an option for Filter boundary
set:

■

Walls only: If you select this option, only walls, curtain walls, door and window assemblies, and
freestanding curtain wall units will be processed as bounding objects for associative spaces. For most
space generation situations this will be sufficient, and it will decrease the processing time necessary
for analyzing the drawing.

■

AEC Objects: If you select this option all objects listed in “

Bounding Objects and Object Outlines for

Associative 2D or Extruded 3D Spaces

” on page 1593 will be processed as bounding objects for associative

spaces. Use this option only for cases where you need more than wall-type objects to bound a space,
for example when using columns as bounding objects.
