Plenums as Void Space Types

[crduggin (Cory Duggin)]

Is there a way to already have the plenums created in pollination to import to the VE as the void object sub-type? Now they have to manually be changed to void after importing the GEM. It would save time for them to already be voids.

Great idea and good timing! Can you share a sample GEM file with us that includes a plenum/room with void type? We can learn from that to improve the GEM export/import routines.
