Curtainwall door evaluation

TAhrens

Hello,
I modeled a door within a facade and have now created a corresponding list for evaluation. For the values ​​"from room" and "to room", depending on how I move the points of the rooms, I only see "from room" or "to room", never both. The rooms are placed automatically and I have already updated them. Thank you for your help

 

Operating system used: Windows 11

Hi @TAhrens 

 

If your curtain wall is within a façade it could happen because outside the building you may not have a zone created. Zones must be created on both sides of the CW so From Zone and To Zone have values. The door panels also have an orientation setting to change the direction.

Be sure to update (open and close) the schedule, sometines it freezes.

I don't speak German so, just in case, in order to be displayed in the default Door Schedule, door curtain wall panels must be classified as Door to fit criteria.

 

Regards.

Hello, @Ricardo Lopez 

Thanks for ur reply. The curtain wall is located inside the building and the rooms are modeld like diplayed in the screenshot. The door panel is also classified as "door". The Graphisoft support gave me the advice to let the rooms plac automaticly, so I tried that as well. The result is the same for the values ​​"from room" and "to room"

Hi @TAhrens 

 

You are right, manual construction method doesn't do its job as it should so it is better using the automatic.

Anyway there is a workaround to define custom "invisible boundaries" using polyline or line drafting tool and setting Relation To Zone as Zone Boundary that could help you to define that separation between zones. You could send it to a hidden layer then.

Also check the nominal thickness of the curtain wall if you need it.
