12.0.1 Create a Conceptual Mass

When to use this option?

• Your project has modelling issues (gaps between elements, missing thermal properties etc)
• Model is slow to process 
• Model is giving warnings in Revit (under Manage Tab – Warnings)

1. Use the Project Enclosure as an outline for creating a conceptual mass (worksets may be used  to separate and control visibility of element categories such as ‘Enclosure’, ‘Mass’ etc)
2. Create a simple Conceptual Mass within the envelope model using the detailed elements (curves on a project may be faceted)
3. Create Floors level by level to ensure best control over separate Surfaces
4. Create Mass Floors from Levels / Check Energy Settings
5. Analyse this mass object with FenestraPro for Revit
