Assigning Risk Information¶
Use Project Risk Values in Risk Matrix to define the information written to walls when Risk Faces are processed.
The current tool assigns these values during Pick Walls. It does not yet provide the planned per-face scoring and confirmation grid.
Project Risk Values¶
The Risk Matrix tab currently provides:
- Wind Zone
- Number of Storeys
- Roof / Wall
- Eave Width
- Envelope
- Deck
Review these values before clicking Pick Walls.
The selected values are applied to the walls processed in that operation.
Wind Zone¶
Wind Zone is different from the other Project Risk Values.
It is read from:
Revit Project Information → Wind Zone
Risk Matrix does not provide a separate editable Wind Zone selector.
For a standard E2 Risk Matrix workflow, the recognised values are:
- Low
- Medium
- High
- Very High
- Extra High
A valid value is shown as the current project Wind Zone.
Use Refresh beside the Wind Zone if Project Information has been changed while Risk Matrix is already open.
One project source of truth
Wind Zone is maintained as project information and consumed by Risk Matrix.
This avoids maintaining a separate Wind Zone value inside each workflow.
Wind Zone Is Not Set¶
If Project Information does not contain a Wind Zone, Risk Matrix displays:
Not Set
and warns that the project Wind Zone has not been set.
Risk Face processing is blocked until a recognised Wind Zone is available.
Set the value in Revit Project Information, then use Refresh in Risk Matrix.
SED¶
If the project Wind Zone is:
SED
Risk Matrix identifies the project as requiring Specific Engineering Design.
The standard E2 Risk Matrix workflow is treated as not applicable and Risk Face processing is blocked.
SED is not another E2 Risk Matrix score
SED indicates that the project is outside the standard Wind Zone route used by this Risk Matrix workflow.
Other Project Risk Values¶
Select the required values for:
Number of Storeys¶
Choose the applicable storey option from the Risk Matrix key schedule.
Roof / Wall¶
Choose the applicable roof-to-wall relationship.
Eave Width¶
Choose the applicable eave-width category.
Envelope¶
Choose the applicable envelope-complexity category.
Deck¶
Choose the applicable deck category.
Use the guidance button beside a value when you need to review the corresponding Risk Matrix guidance.
When Values Are Applied¶
The values currently shown in Project Risk Values are used when you click:
Pick Walls
Risk Matrix writes the corresponding Risk Matrix parameters to the processed walls while assigning their Risk Face information.
This means you can change the applicable selections before processing another group of walls.
Review the selections before processing
The current Risk Matrix values are applied during wall processing.
Check the values before selecting each set of walls that requires a different assessment condition.
Cladding Information¶
Cladding information is managed separately on the Cladding tab.
Processed walls are normalised into up to four project cladding slots:
- Cladding 1
- Cladding 2
- Cladding 3
- Cladding 4
Unused project slots are shown as N/A.
The Wall Type Cladding Mapping and Project Cladding Legend help keep the cladding descriptions coordinated across processed Risk Faces.
Automated Risk Scoring¶
The current version does not calculate and present the completed E2 risk score for each Risk Face.
Automated face-specific suggestion, confirmation and scoring is planned as a later Risk Matrix development stage.
The current workflow focuses on creating the coordinated Risk Faces and storing the information required to support that future assessment workflow.
