Floor-mounted and skid-mounted AC/AHU
VAV Boxes
Generally created as level-hosted families, variable air volume (VAV)
terminal boxes are usually mounted somewhere within the ceiling void,
suspended from the underside of the slab above. In terms of placement,
these are given an offset relative to the building level associated with the
active view. Using the Properties palette, the offset can be predefined prior
to the VAV being placed in this case. This makes for an easier workflow than
in previous releases, in which most objects were placed on the reference
levelandthensubsequentlymovedtothecorrectelevation(see
Figure10.6
).
