In our MEP firm, we combine all disciplines into one model. This has been creating havoc on Spaces. Mechanical needs perimeter spaces (spaces split into smaller spaces by space separation lines) to be exported to the load calc software, and needs the spaces retained. Elec needs the spaces to be 1 space per room for thier scheduling. We need to find a common ground solution (other than breaking disciplines out into separate models)

Why don't you (mechanical) use the spaces and then group them together as a zone and have electrical schedule the zones instead?

It appears in MEP the zones do not carry across the charicteristics of the spaces they enclose (other than heating and cooling information) We needed the electrical information stored in the space. I have a possible work around which is dump it to excell and combine it for calculations using excell formulas... But I REALLY dont want to show people how to dump stuff out to excell, chaos might insue. I could have a workset just for "electrical spaces" and make it unloaded by default, but i believe doing this would still throw the multiple instances in one loaction error, causeing revit to tag the space as a duplicate instead of the room number.

What about phases? You could create an electrical phase for the sole purpose of placing their spaces. They will still be able to schedule the spaces using the electrical phase rather than the new construction phase. I tried it real quick and it seems to work. Might be worth checking out.

That's GeNiUs! It worked fabulous. Two things to remember for those who use this: A- the electrical spaces should be on a phase that comes AFTER the HVAC spaces or they will export in the gbxml B- the space separation lines must be demolished in the phase that the Elec. spaces are found. Thanks so much.
