Attaching Notes And Files To A Zone Template; Converting Area Group Templates To Zone Templates - Autodesk 24108-051400-9000 - AutoCAD Revit Architecture Suite 2008 User Manual

NOTE By default, a calculation modifier is applied only to the base area and base perimeter of spaces attached
to the zone. To apply the modifier to the net, usable, and gross boundaries of spaces attached to a zone, you
need to create and apply a property set definition that contains properties for the calculated area and perimeter
values of these 3 boundaries.
Calculation modifiers are applied accumulatively. If you attach a 50 percent calculation modifier to a space
directly, and then attach the space to a zone that also has a 50 percent calculation modifier, the resulting
space value is 25 percent, because both calculation modifiers are applied.
Calculation modifiers are processed top-down, with the first style in the list processed first, the second
style after that, and so on. Depending on your calculation formulas, you can receive different result values.
To change the order of calculation modifiers, drag them to the correct positions within the list. For an
example of how the order of calculation modifiers can affect the calculation results, see
Modifiers" on page 1724.
