Space properties
Many, but not all, parameters can be edited from both the Space Settings dialog box (see Space settings) and the Object Info palette. Only the parameters that are different on the Object Info palette are described here.
For spaces using plug-in object styles, the parameters that are set by style display for informational purposes but cannot be edited from the Space Settings dialog box or the Object Info palette.

Description |
Style |
Replace, remove, or edit the current style, or create a new plug-in object style for this object; see Changing plug-in object styles from the Object Info palette. Editing a style changes all instances in the file that use the style. |

Assign Zones (Occupancy section) |
Opens the Assign Zones dialog box, which has the same functionality as the Assign Zones section of the Occupancy pane of the Space Settings dialog box |
Auto-Boundary (2D Boundaries and Area section) |
Specifies whether the space object is associated with a set of walls, or whether its boundaries were created manually. For an auto-bounded space, if the walls are edited (whether moved, reshaped, or replaced, or due to a change in the wall style, the wall thickness, or the wall components), the space edge path updates automatically. |
Update Boundary (2D Boundaries and Area section) |
Available only if Auto-Boundary is enabled. Updates the boundary of the space to match the surrounding walls after visible walls are added, deleted, or moved; also updates the boundary if a custom space boundary definition is changed (for example, if the space boundary is offset from the walls). |
Remove all clips (3D Boundaries section) |
Available for both the net and gross boundary of the space, if the boundary has been clipped with the Fit Top of Space to Objects or Fit Bottom of Space to Objects command. Click to restore the top and bottom edges of the space to a horizontal edge. |
Room Finishes (Room Finish section) |
Available only if Include on room finish schedule is enabled; opens the Assign Room Finishes dialog box, which has the same functionality as the Room Finishes pane of the Space Settings dialog box. This option is available when multiple spaces are selected, so the same finishes can easily be assigned to all selected space objects. |
Matrix Order (Additional Data section - Architect required) |
Specifies the location of the space object in the adjacency matrix |
