Auto-Assign Containment: Spaces

The Auto-Assign Containment: Spaces tool assigns objects to the spaces in which their geometry is located. 

The object must be located completely inside a space to be assigned to the space. If an object is completely inside multiple spaces, the assignment is made to the smallest space. If you, for example, have rooms and gross/net areas modeled as spaces, the assignment will be to the room. 

This tool does not split objects that span multiple spaces. If you want to split objects, use the Split Objects tool.

This tool is useful when you merge, for example, an HVAC or electrical model into an architectural model and want to assign the HVAC or electrical objects to the architect’s spaces.
