The concept of 'Space boundary' defines the boundaries of a space. The boundaries are
a property of the space and they sit between the space object and the actual
boundary objects (walls and slabs). The purpose of the space boundaries is to
enable energy related calculations and they could in a very limited fashion
be used for quantity takeoff. There is a lot to be improved in this concept
so don't expect too much of it. There is a detailed paper that deals with just
space boundaries.
The geometric representation of a space boundary is a single 3D polyline that
can't have voids.
View considerations
- Arch. design >> Quantities take off / cost estimating
- Very limited use possible at the moment, not implemented by anybody
I know
- Arch. design >> Thermal load calculations / HVAC system design
- Central role in associating spaces with their bounding elements. These
relationships could also be calculated from space and wall/slab geometry,
but this is a quite complex task
