them from the model only. They still exist in the project and could be
inadvertently used again or have unnecessary analysis performed on them.
Consider creating a simple Space schedule that will quickly identify any
unwanted spaces and allow you to delete them all completely from the
project with a few clicks. When you link in an architectural model, one thing
you need to do is set the Room Bounding parameter so that it defines the
boundaries of your spaces. Placing a space within the same boundaries as
a Room object will associate that space with the architectural Room object.
So, unless your architect has placed Room objects in areas such as chases or
column wraps, you can easily see which of your spaces match up with the
rooms.
Figure 7.29 shows the settings for a Space schedule that can be used to
eliminate unwanted spaces. The schedule is sorted and grouped by room
number and level so that all spaces without an associated level (Not Placed)
or room will be listed together at the top of the schedule. Not Placed spaces
could have been created as a fast-track design method or as a result of
architectural changes. Either way, it is up to the user to decide whether they
are required.
Figure7.29 Settings for a Space schedule
The unwanted spaces can be highlighted in the schedule and then removed
from the project by using the Delete button on the ribbon. You cannot
use the Shift or Ctrl keys, but you can click and drag your cursor to select
multiple rows within a Revit schedule.
