Defined in:

lib/openstudio-standards/btap/geometry.rb

Class Method Summary

• .auto_assign_spaces_to_stories(model) ⇒ Object

  This method will delete any exisiting stories and then try to assign stories based on the z-axis origin of the space.

• .auto_assign_stories(model) ⇒ Object

  override run to implement the functionality of your script model is an OpenStudio::Model::Model, runner is a OpenStudio::Ruleset::UserScriptRunner.

• .get_zones_from_storey(storey) ⇒ Object

  Get the zones in a storey.

• .getStoryForNominalZCoordinate(model, minz) ⇒ Object

  find the first story with z coordinate, create one if needed.
