About Schedule Properties of Spaces

There are a large number of schedule properties you can attach to a space. Property data is placed in a property set definition and attached to a space or space style. You can display it in the Properties palette or use it to create schedule tables.

The following schedule properties are available as automatic properties directly derived from a space:

Property Description
Base Area Area bounded by the base boundary
Base Area Minus Interferences Area bounded by base boundary minus the area deducted by interference conditions.
Base Ceiling Area Area bounded by the ceiling boundary. The ceiling boundary is always derived from the base boundary of the space. In an extruded 3D space, the base ceiling area is identical to the base area; in a 3D freeform space the base ceiling area can differ from the base area.
Base Perimeter Perimeter of the base boundary
Base Perimeter Including Interferences Perimeter of the base boundary including the length created by interference conditions.
Base Surface Area The sum of surface areas on a space, calculated from the base volume of the space
Base Volume Volume of the space as calculated from the base boundary
Calculated Area Base area of a space after applying calculation modifiers.
Calculated Perimeter Base perimeter of a space after applying calculation modifiers
Calculation Modifier List of all calculation modifiers applied to the space

Calculation Plane 1 Area

Calculation Plane 2 Area

Space area at the height of calculation cut planes 1 and 2. This property should be used for 3D freeform spaces only; in an extruded 3D space the calculation cut plane area is identical at each cut plane.

Calculation Plane 1 Height

Calculation Plane 2 Height

Height of calculation cut planes 1 and 2.

Calculation Plane 1 Perimeter

Calculation Plane 2 Perimeter

Perimeter of calculation cut planes 1 and 2.
Ceiling Thickness Thickness of the ceiling boundary.

Style The style of the space
Target Area/Length/Width Target values for area, length, and width of spaces that have target dimensions defined in the space style.
Usable Area Area bounded by the usable boundary
Usable Area Minus Interferences Area bounded by usable boundary minus the area deducted by interference conditions.
Usable Calculated Area Area bounded by the usable boundary after applying calculation modifiers
Usable Calculated Perimeter Perimeter of the usable boundary after applying calculation modifiers
Usable Perimeter Perimeter of the usable boundary
Usable Perimeter Including Interferences Perimeter of the usable boundary including the length created by interference conditions.
Volume Above Ceiling Volume of the space above the ceiling boundary. All volumes are calculated from the base volume.
Volume Below Floor Volume of the space below the floor boundary.
Volume Overall Overall volume of the space including ceiling and floor boundaries, and the volume above the ceiling and below the floor.
