Create Spaces, floors and ceilings automatically from a few faces

[rtches]

Do you have to deal with a lot of time creating floors, ceilings and spaces… With this extension you only need to…

• Select some areas (for example rooms…). You don’t need to group them.
  

  

• Push a button and select 3 meassures:

  • spaces height in centimeters
  • floor thickness in centimeters
  • ceiling thickness in centimeters

You receive:

• components with spaces with their correlative name (with colour and 15% of oppacity)
• components with floors with their correlative name
• components with ceilings with their correlative name

Each component is tagged as space, floor or ceiling.

The plugin is in Spanish, English and French.

This is an interesting spin on “Spaces”. It’s like a floors/stories/level builder.

You only need to classify as IfcSpace & IfcCovering and your IFC Project is 50% done…

I need to learn more about IFC. You do work for a large construction firm?

[rtches]

No, I work as a Developer part time and as a self employer the rest of the day (Quantity surveyor, teaching SketchUp, etc.). But I try to deal with Ifc files everyday.

Now I’m working in this… (Ifc utilities)

Very fancy!

Why IFC?

Does it show everything correctly when rotated (does it solve the bounding box problem)?

@3DxJFD

Why IFC?

In Spain people exchange models in Ifc format, and I use a 5D software to obtain automatically the budget with and Ifc file from Sketchup.
Related to bounding box I change axes to obtain the real quantities but I don’t modify the model, I only attach a Parameter set with quantities.
