Spatial maps of the model are based on the obstruction limits boxes surronding each design element, rather than using full detailed geometric representations. The spatial maps allow faster data access, and they are used for tasks such as clash detection where fast data access is required and where the simplified representation is adequate.
Spatial maps are maintained automatically as the design model is updated, but may need to be rebuilt explicitly if the catalogue data, from which the map geometry is derived, is changed.
MAP BUILD -- Lets you update existing spatial maps to take into account all design and catalogue changes which have taken place. This is only necessary if the MAP CHECK Command shows that the map is out of date.
MAP BUILD MDB - Updates the spatial maps for all DESIGN DBs within the current MDB
MAP BUILD STEEL/AREA2 - Updates the spatial map for the DB STEEL/AREA2
