Architecture Create Lift Shaft And Lift Family Between Two Levels

Architecture / Vertical Circulation writes to model Public API · not yet exposed

Coming soon

Before you run this

Two levels selected (lift bottom + top). Lift family loaded. Floors / ceilings present between the two levels. Lift footprint location picked or resolved from rooms.

After it runs

One Shaft Opening element from the bottom level to the top level cutting all floors / ceilings in between; one Lift family instance placed inside; ShaftOpening linked to the lift.

When to use this

Don't use this when

Stair shafts (use the stairwell command), goods lifts with bespoke pit / overrun, or schemes where the shaft footprint changes per level.

Decision flow

1. Read the bottom + top levels and the lift family the user picked.
2. Compute the shaft footprint from the lift family's clear envelope plus the project oversize.
3. Place a Shaft Opening from bottom to top in one Transaction (cuts all floors / ceilings in between).
4. Place the lift family inside the shaft at the bottom level.
5. Report shaft id, lift id and the levels covered.

What you'll see in the chat

on start
I'll create the lift shaft and place the lift family between those levels now.
thinking
Sizing the shaft from the lift family envelope and cutting it through every floor.
on success
Done — lift shaft placed from {bottom} to {top} ({levels_cut} floors cut), lift family placed inside.
on failure
Couldn't create the lift shaft: {error}.
