Check MEP Voids Dimensions

Hamzalaalaoui

Hello, I would like to know if it is possible to check the geometric intersection between MEP ducts and void objects, specifying vertical and horizontal clearance between the external surface of the duct and the external surface of the void ?

Example : a duct of ⌀ 100mm passing through a void object of ⌀ 120mm should be detected as a problem because there should be at least 25mm around the duct to allow installation and potential insulation.

You can use the Fire Stopping rules, (BIM Coordination + Extension) The Distance rule will do exactly this.

@simon-gilbert Thank you so much for your reply. I will certainly try this extension.
