LiveArchiSpace

LiveArchiSpace, a primary Buildings Space Planning type, is for internal space, mass, elevator, and shaft.

     LiveArchiSpace

Attributes

LiveArchiSpace subtypes include mass, (internal) space, and elevator shaft. Some attributes are not relevant for all subtypes, whereas others may exclude a specific subtype or are only used for specific subtypes.

Several source types are available to define the basic shape of the space, for example, parameter set, sketch, planar face, or solid. Some attributes are used with all source types, whereas others use one type, for example, a parameter set.
