At some point while working with spaces in your MEP project, you will need to modify them. This may occur due to a change in the specifications or to adjust a heating and cooling loads analysis.

- About Redefining the Vertical Extent of a Space
The vertical extent of a space represents the space vertically from the base to the upper limit. Sometimes, you need to redefine the vertical extent of a space. - Use Drag Controls to Redefine the Vertical Extent of a Space
- Use Dimensions to Redefine the Vertical Extent of a Space
- Modify Space Properties to Redefine the Vertical Extent of a Space
- About Dividing Spaces
You can use space separation lines to divide spaces. This allows you to independently control the environment of smaller areas within the larger area. - Combine Spaces
You can restore a divided space by removing space separation lines. - Move Spaces
When you move a space, you are moving it from one location and placing it in another location on the same building level. The space displays in floor plan and section views, and all information about the space is retained in the space component. - About Removing Spaces
- Unplace Spaces
You unplace a space when you want to remove it from its current location in the building model. The space becomes unplaced and all space information is retained allowing you to place the unplaced space in another location later in the design process. - Place an Unplaced Space
You place an unplaced space using the same method as placing a new space. The only difference being that you select the unplaced space from the Space list on the Options Bar. - View a List of Unplaced Spaces
You can create a list of unplaced spaces in a space schedule. - Delete Spaces
You can delete selected spaces from a project when you no longer want to retain any information about the spaces. - Modify Space Properties
Spaces use information to perform volume calculations on the building model. This space information also affects a Systems Analysis of your model. You may need to define or redefine this information so that the spaces in your model comply with the specifications.
