Hi,

 

I have a question about the use of assemblies.

I have a building with lots of bedroom rooms - these have 4 walls, a load of furniture, windows, doors and various other items.

The rooms are all next to each other in a line, of about 12.

The question is whats the best way to handle the walls and inserts into the wall?

At the moment the external wall is one large wall going across all bedrooms - I guess this can't be part of the assembly without deviding it up?

Can the window be part of the assembly, even though the wall is?

And as the rooms are lined up the left hand side of one room is the right hand side of the next, in this case walls will overlap if I include wall 4 wall as the assembly.

I've done some tests and cant find a good solution to these issues and am wondering if I can get some advise from someone who's used this feature.

 

Thanks.

Assemblies is the wrong approach.  Look into groups.

 

The walls can do as you have already modeled.   The room groups can include furnishings, perimeter wall hosted elements, interior walls, plumbing and doors.  I would not include any exterior items like walls and windows.

OK, thanks.

Just out of interest, what situations would be good for assemblies?

Assemblies are typically used when detailing and you want to show the parts.  But you really have to understand them and their limitations/results.
