Detecting Building
Shows step-by-step how to prepare your model in order to detect it and how to have it detected by LINEAR Building.
Before you begin
You want to prepare your model and detect it with LINEAR Building.
Requirements:
You have configured the synchronization settings in the dialog Configuration in LINEAR Building to your needs.
Navigate to
Procedure
- Open the Building detection section.
- Select an option for the Ground Approximation.
- Select the Reference Level of the ground level.
This option only applies if you have selected Constant Ground Level for ground approximation.
- Select an option for ground Curtain wall detection.
- Optional: Under Further Options, activate the Restrict to Active View option if only the elements currently visible in the model are to be taken into account for building detection in LINEAR Building.
- Optional: Under Further Options, activate the option Save Component Information if LINEAR Building should display component segments instead of complete components in the Revit model.
- Optional: Under Further Options, activate the Automatic Shaft Detection option if shafts and in-wall installations are to be detected automatically without prior MEP space placement.
- Optional: Under Further Options, activate the Use IFC Room Geometries option if you want to use the IFC Room geometries instead of the MEP spaces to detect the building.
- Optional: Under Further Options, activate the Use Template Types option if you want to use your own mapping to component types in LINEAR Building due to insufficient data on thermal properties or layer structures in the linked architecture model.
- Click Building detection....
LINEAR Building opens.
- In LINEAR Building, click Transfer building from CAD.
The Select Template dialog opens.
- Select a template and confirm your selection with OK.
The template files contain country-specific data such as locations, temperatures, variables and room templates.
The dialog Apply Building Data opens.
- Select whether you want to transfer the Complete Building Structure or the Building Structure without Enveloping Surfaces to LINEAR Building .
LINEAR Building analyzes the building structure. The dialog Building data opens.
- Enter all project data and confirm your entry with OK.
Results
The building has been detected and is available for further analysis.
