Indoors Information Model > Facilities > HEIGHT_RELATIVE

TylerT — Thu, 15 Jun 2023 13:08:53 GMT

The documentation for Facilities > HEIGHT_RELATIVE uses the exact definition for Levels > HEIGHT_RELATIVE causing some ambiguity. The question is exactly where should Facility height be measured from, or how is it defined (e.g. bottom floor to top roof, or ground to top roof)?

Thank you,

Tyler

Hi @TylerT, This documentation was updated at Pro 3.0 -- Here's the latest version. This value is the distance from the ground to the roof of the building. This field is used when converting 2D floorplan data to 3D data and using the rule package from the product data to generate a 3D facade for the facility.

Just wondering ... does this guidance change if the building has levels below ground level (i.e.: subway station) or is entirely underground (i.e.: bomb shelter, vault, etc ...) ?

(Full disclosure: We assumed this literally meant "height of building", so if the bomb shelter has 2 levels -- each HEIGHT_RELATIVE = 4.25m, then the Facility HEIGHT_RELATIVE = 8.50m even though it's entirely underground).

Thanks,

Derek
