Hi John,
I will have a word on this issue with our development team, if we found that it is a BUG then we will make sure that , this will be eradicated from the next release.
Thanks & Regards ,

Hi John,
I followed the steps what you have suggested & found that only the active layer rooms are included in the calculation.
You can easily found out from the Result page.
Thanks & Regards ,

HI guys,

I decided to take a look at this one too, my tests show that rooms on an inactive layer do still have an impact on the results in the rooms being analysed. I couldn't find any way to ignore these rooms by excluding them from analysis or editing calculation settings etc.

We can raise this with the development team to find out if there is anyway to completely exclude them but for now I think you are safer just having different version of the project to analyse the different scenarios.

Hi,

It's been passed over to the development team but beyond that there is not a lot more we can do here. Anything that would take a development effort has to be approved by management before it can be added to the plan and there's other high priority features to be produced at the moment I'm afraid.

I'm not able to give a timescale when this will be available at the moment.

Can I just second this cry for some more work on Flucs.

It is infuriating having to run more than one room at a time in Flucs at anything other than the most basic level of detail. And having to have a seperate model for each room/floor so that the floor/room you're interested in can be analysed seperately is impractical for large projects.
