Review warnings

00:03

When we're creating a complex model,

00:06

we often get warnings left within rev

00:08

and to show how this might happen,

00:10

I'll go to the floor four plan view

00:13

zooming into the stairs here.

00:16

We need to add a fire break wall across the corridor here.

00:20

So we'll choose some existing wall

00:22

and then from the modify ribbon, we'll choose to create similar,

00:26

we'll draw some more

00:27

across the corridor.

00:29

And if I draw it just a little bit too long,

00:33

then it starts to overlap with the wall above here.

00:36

And we get a warning telling us that highlighted walls will overlap

00:40

and that one of those may be ignored when

00:43

Rick finds room boundaries

00:45

and that we can use the cut geometry tool

00:47

to embed one wall within another if appropriate.

00:51

However, we can ignore this warning,

00:53

we can dismiss it and carry on working so we can go back to our architecture tab

00:57

and continue to place our door within the corridor.

01:01

And if we don't resolve that issue, then that warning stays with those objects.

01:06

So every time we come back and pick one of these walls

01:09

from the modify ribbon, we can see we have the show related warnings option.

01:14

When we select this,

01:15

we can see that highlighted walls overlap error

01:20

and then the two walls that are involved in that which we can pick and highlight.

01:24

In order to remove this warning from the project,

01:28

we need to actually resolve it in the model.

01:31

So if I select this wall

01:32

and stretch it back so that it no longer overlaps and is in the correct position

01:37

when we resect it,

01:38

then that review warnings

01:40

option will have disappeared because that warning

01:43

is no longer persistent on these objects.

01:46

As we edit the model and make changes to our design,

01:49

it's inevitable that we will receive warnings and

01:52

that they will persist within the model.

01:53

So from the manage driven tab on the inquiry panel,

01:57

we can choose warnings

01:59

and we can see the warnings that are still current within the project.

02:03

So we have several here

02:05

and expanding these out,

02:06

we can see sometimes there's multiple versions of the same warning.

02:11

So to review these from here, we can choose a specific warning

02:15

and then use the show button.

02:17

We get a message to let us know that

02:19

we can use our standard view commands. Whilst this dialog box is open

02:24

and that each time we press the show,

02:26

you'll go and find a view that's relevant to those objects.

02:29

And each time we press it, we'll get a new view open.

02:33

And also that we may need to change the shading mode to actually see those objects.

02:38

So we choose clothes

02:41

and now it's prompting us that it will need to go

02:42

and search through the project browser to find a good view.

02:45

So we'll stay ok to continue.

02:48

And we can see now that it's opened up the floor two floor plan,

02:51

which is where these rooms relate to

02:53

expanding out. One in one.

02:55

We can see we have office number 13

02:57

and also office number 14.

02:59

And it looks like a petition has been removed between the two offices,

03:03

but the room has not been deleted and updated.

03:07

We can choose one and two. And actually, we can see that highlighted in the interview

03:11

and we can use our zoom tools and pan tools so we can just pan across

03:16

and roll the mouse wheel to zoom out.

03:19

Now, we can see that we also have a lobby room

03:21

and the open work area and both of these are still overlapping.

03:25

So from here, we can actually choose to delete the rooms that we no longer need.

03:29

So we can check the lobby room and check one of the offices

03:33

and then if we choose, delete,

03:34

checked those rooms will be deleted and the warnings box dismissed.

03:39

However,

03:39

we do get another warning telling us that

03:42

we need to delete those rooms from the schedule

03:45

as they've been deleted from the model, but not actually from the schedule.

03:49

So we'll ignore this and deal with this later.

03:52

And now when we go back to review the warnings.

03:56

We can see the warnings about the rooms has now

03:58

disappeared as it's no longer a problem in the model.

04:01

We have identical instances in the same place. So let's expand that out.

04:06

Once again, we can see that we have two pieces of furniture.

04:10

So let's choose one and two and choose show.

04:13

And then when we close that down, it jumps to that furniture,

04:15

which is actually also on floor two,

04:19

Tuesday morning, three, we can see that highlighted and that's the desk opposite.

04:24

So that's probably been created when we've been laying out the

04:26

furniture and we've accidentally copied one desk on top of another.

04:30

So once again, we can check two of these

04:33

and we won't delete those just yet. We'll review some of the other warnings.

04:38

So scrolling down, we can see we have an insert conflict with joined walls.

04:41

So let's expand that one out.

04:44

And actually, we have quite a few of these.

04:46

So really what we'd need to run through all of these to check the individual warning,

04:50

but we'll choose one of these and then choose show.

04:54

We can see the window that's involved, highlighted and the wall inside.

04:58

But let's just show once more.

05:02

And this time it opens up another view

05:04

and we can see that. Now we're looking at a wall that meets a window

05:08

and that's actually ok.

05:10

That's part of the design

05:11

and we'll resolve this when we detail how that junction works.

05:16

Let's try another one in here. So warn in 22

05:19

we see that actually there's a wall and a door involved in this one.

05:22

So we'll choose this and then choose show

05:26

and then show once more.

05:29

And now we can see on floor three here

05:32

that this wall and door are conflicting and we need to resolve this issue.

05:37

So remembering that we've also got our furniture checked.

05:40

We'll choose, delete, checked to get rid of those tables.

05:44

And we're left now looking at the issue between this

05:46

wall and the door and we need to decide,

05:48

should we move the door or move the wall?

05:51

So in this instance, I'll choose the door and move that.

05:55

And now when we select the wall, we can see this no longer has a related warning

05:59

and neither does the door.

06:01

So going back to our warnings,

06:04

we see we still have a number of warnings here

06:06

and we need to determine if these warnings need resolving

06:10

or whether it's something that's just part of the model that we have to live with.

06:14

And the only way we can do this is to select each one of these

06:17

and show and review that

06:19

and make a decision based on our own design as

06:22

to whether that's acceptable or whether it needs fixing.

06:25

If we're working with a larger design team, we can export the warnings out

06:29

and this will create a html file which will list

06:32

out all of the warnings and the objects involved,

06:35

which may help us discuss this in team meetings.
