# Spatial Division
# 區劃管理者
The "Spatial Division" feature provides a flexible area division function, allowing users to split regions according to management needs. This helps division manager effectively identify and display clash points within the BIM model. By integrating spatial division information, division manager can quickly locate clashes and identify responsible personnel. This feature is particularly useful for marking the specific location of clashes and identifying the owner of each division. For more detailed operational instructions, please refer to the relevant chapters in the user manual.
# Creating and Uploading Spatial Divisions
1. Binding the SyncoBox Project
Follow these steps to complete the binding process between Revit and SyncoBox project:
- In the Revit function panel, navigate to [ SyncoBox BIM Workflow ] > [ Bind SyncoBox Project ].
- In the pop-up "Select Linked SyncoBox Project" window, use the drop-down menu to select the project you want to bind, then click "Confirm" to complete the binding.
2. Creating an Area Plan
- In the [ Architecture ] tab of the Revit function panel, find [ Rooms & Areas ] and select [ Area & Volume Computations ].
- In the [ Area & Volume Computations ] window, switch to the [ Area Plans ] tab and click [ New ].
In the pop-up [ Select Area Plan Type ] window, choose either [ Create Rentable Area Plan ] or [ Create Gross Area Plan ] and click [ OK ].
Name the newly created area plan [ SyncoBox Spatial Division ] and click [ OK ] to complete the area plan creation.
3. Selecting the Area Plan and Floor
In the [ Architecture ] tab, select [ Area ] > [ Building Floor Plan ].
In the pop-up [ New Building Floor Plan ] window, select the created area plan from the drop-down list.
Choose the floor where the spatial division will be created, then click [ OK ].
A prompt will appear asking whether to [ Automatically create range boundary lines associated with exterior walls and the overall building scope ]. Select [ No ].
Upon completion, Revit will automatically open the selected floor from Step 3.
4. Creating Spatial Divisions
In the [ Architecture ] tab, select [ Area Boundary ].
Use the drawing tools to outline a closed spatial division.
Click [ Architecture ] > [ Area ] > [ Area ] and place the area tag within the drawn spatial division.
- After placing the tag, click the cross-line on the area tag to highlight the range. (If the tag's cross-line cannot be selected, use the Tab key to switch selection.)
- The SyncoBox Spatial Division feature mainly captures "Area", "Number", and "Name". Use the Revit properties panel to edit the "Number" and "Name" of the spatial division, or use a schedule to quickly modify spatial division ranges.
5. Exporting Spatial Divisions to SyncoBox
- In the [ TSMC Project Workflow ] tab, click the [ Export Spatial Division to SyncoBox ] button to initiate the process.
- In the pop-up window, edit the project area and select export coordinates, then click [ Confirm ]. Note that the export coordinate option must match the coordinate settings used for WeBIMSync.
- Before uploading, the window will display the spatial division information to be uploaded. You can select [ Show Floors ] and [ Show Divisions ] to view the number of floors, divisions, and total added or updated divisions.
TIP
The operations of adding, updating, or deleting spatial divisions are based on the division number. If a number already exists during the upload, the system will "Update" the data. If a number is deleted, the system will indicate "Delete".
- Once confirmed, click "Start Upload" to proceed.
# Spatial Division Interface
SyncoBox provides the "Spatial Division" feature, which integrates detailed spatial division information uploaded from Revit model. This enables division manager to accurately track "Clashes' Location" and "Division Owners."
You can access this feature in the SyncoBox project by navigating to [ BIM ] > [ Spatial Division ] from the left-side menu, where all synchronized spatial divisions are displayed.
Upon entering the "Spatial Division" page, the system presents a complete list of spatial divisions, including the following key fields:
Number: A unique identifier for each spatial division.
Name: A user-friendly name for easy identification.
Level Name: Displays the floor location of the division, aiding the team in quick navigation.
These fields provide division manager with an overview of spatial divisions and assist the team in understanding division allocation and management.
# Assigning Spatial Division Owners
Division manager can assign responsible personnel to each division according to project requirements, ensuring clear role assignments within the project team. Using the [ Change Owner ] button, then, you can select team members responsible for the division and save the changes. Assigning owners helps strengthen accountability. Clicking [ Remove Owner ] will remove the assigned owner from the division.
# Clashes and Spatial Division Relationship
After accessing the SyncoBox project, navigate to [ BIM ]> [ Clash Management ] > [ Clash Sets ] from the left-side menu. Left-click on the clash result to view detailed information, including the specific range of the clash and the affected spatial division.
On the clash results page, the system displays detailed information for each clash result, including the name of the spatial division and its assigned responsible owner.
By linking spatial divisions with clash points, division manager can quickly pinpoint problem areas and facilitate timely clash resolution. This intuitive presentation not only reduces the time needed for issue identification but also enhances team collaboration.
