How to draw zones for a correct IFC export and usage.

GCP — Sat, 11 Feb 2023 20:12:26 GMT

Hello everyone,

I have a question regarding the height and position of the zones in the model:

Should zones be drawn from finish floor to finish ceiling or should they be drawn from concrete slab to concrete slab and then subtract the finishes with a formula on the property manager?
The advantage of drawing from finish floor to finish ceiling is that I get the clear height directly from the room, without the use of formulas. I can also getter wall area from the room and use it for a cost estimation.
I do not know how this affects the whole ifc Modell when it comes to recognizing the MEP elements that don’t touch the ifc zone.

Is there a standard and defined Ifc workflow for drawing and exporting zones?

I hope I explained myself correctly.

I appreciate your help.
