Zones & Renovation Status

Anonymous — Fri, 26 May 2023 00:12:12 GMT

So I've got a problem with the zone tool creating zones in a remodel project. I have a room with 4 walls, 3 of which are existing, one new. I've set the renovation status of each the walls to the proper settings based on that. The area created by the addition of the fourth NEW wall is a NEW room, so I want the renovation status of the zone to be NEW as well. However, the zone tool will not recognize this new room. I've searched the forum & have been able to find a solution to this problem, so I'm just seeing if I'm missing something.
Any help would be appreciated.

I can't reproduce this, Mike. Works fine for me: Have three existing walls, a fourth New. I'm viewing the model with the New Construction filter. Select the Zone Tool, click the New button in the Renno palette to make it be a new construction zone. With the inner edge auto-detect geometry method selected for the zone tool, I click inside the 'room' - and the zone is properly placed.

I wonder if you have an existing zone already displayed which is messing up the placement of the new zone? If the new wall has reduced an existing zone, then that zone should perhaps now be a Demo element.

BTW: thanks for adding your AC17 - but do update your actual profile which still reports AC 13: click the "Profile" text link towards the top right of the page to the left of "Log out".
