Zone Tools propagates data from zone geometry within your model onto objects that are either contained or partially contained within them.

Zone Tools

For Zone Tools to work, you must have zone geometry within your model that contains information you wish to propagate onto your model elements. iConstruct Zone Tools will identify nominated zones and run algorithms over the model geometry to append specified zone properties onto objects. Originally created for applying work area information onto equipment, Zone Tools is widely used for applying room, department and functional information onto model objects for scheduling, visualization, room data sheets and reporting.

Zone Tools
Using Zone Tools, the room geometry is selected, and the room’s name is identified as the property we wish to populate to the object.
Zone Tools
Nominated information now resides on the object’s user data tab, which can be saved with the model allowing users to better manage their BIM projects.
