Intersecting spaces with style-defined boundary offsets
Intersecting Spaces with Different Boundary Offsets
If the space boundaries of the 2 spaces are calculated with different offset types, the method used by the first selected
space is also used for the resulting space.
Example 1: The boundaries of space 1 are offset by style, and the style defines an offset between boundaries of 0.25 m.
The boundaries of space 2 are offset manually, and have 0 offset between the individual boundaries. If space 1 is
intersected with space 2, the base boundaries of the 2 spaces are intersected with each other, and the remaining
boundaries are recalculated by the offsets of the style of space 1, and offset from each other by 0.25 m.

Example 2: The boundaries of space 1 are offset manually, and have 0.3 offset between the individual boundaries. The
boundaries of space 2 are offset by style, and the style defines an offset between boundaries of 0.25 m. If space 1 is
merged with space 2, the value of the Offset boundaries property for the resulting space will be Manual. Since the net,
usable, and gross boundaries of a space with style-based offsets are not grip-editable, only the base boundaries of both
spaces will be intersected. The boundaries of the second space are deleted from the drawing.
