Transcript
00:03
In Revit, you can create system zones and analytical spaces,
00:08
which you can then access via the System Browser.
00:12
Make sure to use the Revit file SystemZones-2024.rvt
00:18
and that Arch_Link-2024.rvt is in the same location folder, as it is linked to the System Zones Revit file.
00:31
To create a system zone, on the Analyze ribbon, in the Energy Optimization panel, click System-Zone.
00:40
Revit then automatically enters sketch mode, where you can use tools in the Draw gallery to sketch shapes.
00:47
Keep in mind that analytical spaces inside the shape or touching the shape
00:52
are also included in your system zone.
00:55
Now, in the model, sketch a rectangle across some of the exam rooms.
01:00
Then, click Finish Edit Mode.
01:03
Your system zone has now been created, and you can select it.
01:08
In the Properties palette, you can also adjust the Level Offset, Level, and Name for your zone.
01:16
In the contextual ribbon, click Edit System-Zone.
01:21
Here, you can adjust the boundaries of your rectangle, if needed.
01:25
Click Finish Edit Mode.
01:29
To create the analytical spaces and see which ones are added to your system zones,
01:35
you need to create the energy analytical model.
01:38
To do this, on the Analyze ribbon in the Energy Optimization panel, click Create Energy Model.
01:47
In the notification, click Create the Energy Analytical Model.
01:53
Once you have created your energy analytical model, open the System Browser.
01:58
On the View ribbon, in the Windows panel, expand the User Interface button
02:04
and select System Browser.
02:07
The System Browser opens in a separate window that displays a hierarchical list of all the components in each discipline in a project,
02:16
either by systems, by zones, or by analytical systems.
02:22
Select Analytical Systems from the drop-down and then expand the system zones.
02:28
Here, you can see all the analytical spaces assigned to each system zone in this project.
