extruded generic model and mass floors

September 1, 2011, 08:08 AM

When designing floor layouts in plan view I frequently use a mass to quickly tell me the building's gross floor area as the design evolves. Because I'm working in plan view so much it's quicker to model the mass in place using an extruded generic model (Home, Component, Model In-Place, Generic Models and Extrusion) with the mass floors applied. This workflow worked nicely in 2011 but in 2012 the mass floors button is grayed out (see attached) preventing me from applying mass floors to the mass. Does anyone know why the mass floors button is grayed out. Thanks.

Hi, and welcome to the forum.

Are you absolutely sure that this was the workflow in 2011? I can´t get it to work in either 2011 or 2012 - And would actually be quit surprised if one could apply mass floors to generic models.

Maybe you are confusing a in-place generic model, with a in-place mass ?
