Before you begin to use either the Space Browser or Space
Program, you need to develop a space requirements spreadsheet for the building
project. Before you use Color Spaces by Category, you need to develop a space
color by category spreadsheet.
Your space requirements spreadsheet is especially useful because you
can:
Import it into
Buildings Space Planning
keeping your column specifications intact.
Define spaces by the client's department and sub-department
management structure. This structure becomes a method of filtering the spaces
in the Space Browser.
Specify the dimensions of each space. When you drag a space into the
building from either the Space Browser or Space Program, the space retains your
specified dimensions.
Predetermine the story location for each space. These locations are
preserved by both the Space Browser and Space Program functions. Both functions
automatically open the appropriate story when you drag each space into the
building.
Define an identifying color for each space. When you later drag the
space from the Space Browser or Space Program into the building, the space
retains the color, making it easy to quickly identify each planned space.
