Create system zones in Revit

00:03

In Revit, you can create system zones and analytical spaces,

00:08

which you can then access via the System Browser.

00:12

Make sure to use the Revit file SystemZones-2024.rvt

00:18

and that Arch_Link-2024.rvt is in the same location folder, as it is linked to the System Zones Revit file.

00:31

To create a system zone, on the Analyze ribbon, in the Energy Optimization panel, click System-Zone.

00:40

Revit then automatically enters sketch mode, where you can use tools in the Draw gallery to sketch shapes.

00:47

Keep in mind that analytical spaces inside the shape or touching the shape

00:52

are also included in your system zone.

00:55

Now, in the model, sketch a rectangle across some of the exam rooms.

01:00

Then, click Finish Edit Mode.

01:03

Your system zone has now been created, and you can select it.

01:08

In the Properties palette, you can also adjust the Level Offset, Level, and Name for your zone.

01:16

In the contextual ribbon, click Edit System-Zone.

01:21

Here, you can adjust the boundaries of your rectangle, if needed.

01:25

Click Finish Edit Mode.

01:29

To create the analytical spaces and see which ones are added to your system zones,

01:35

you need to create the energy analytical model.

01:38

To do this, on the Analyze ribbon in the Energy Optimization panel, click Create Energy Model.

01:47

In the notification, click Create the Energy Analytical Model.

01:53

Once you have created your energy analytical model, open the System Browser.

01:58

On the View ribbon, in the Windows panel, expand the User Interface button

02:04

and select System Browser.

02:07

The System Browser opens in a separate window that displays a hierarchical list of all the components in each discipline in a project,

02:16

either by systems, by zones, or by analytical systems.

02:22

Select Analytical Systems from the drop-down and then expand the system zones.

02:28

Here, you can see all the analytical spaces assigned to each system zone in this project.
