Design Status Control

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Immediately to the right of the Element Manager button is a button marked “Design Status”.  This control is used to overview the overall status of all calculations in the Revit model.

Any individual Revit element that has been corelated to an ENERCALC calculation will have one of the following four statuses:

Green – Calculation is passing its unity check (unity <= 1.0)

Yellow – Calculation is incomplete (i.e., pending or cancelled)

Orange – Calculation has a warning (i.e., Revit geometry changes have caused the element to diverge from its ENERCALC SEL calculation data)

Red – Calculation is failing its unity check (unity > 1.0)

At any given time, the color of the circle indicates the worst status of any designed element found in the entire model.  For display purposes, severity of status is ranked from “best” to “worst” in the same order as the above list, where, “worst” is defined as the most severe cause for concern for the design professional (i.e., failing unity).  This ranking is illustrated in “Overall Design Status Ranking”.
