Create Room Views

The Rooms page provides an overview of all rooms in the active model that correspond to the selected phase. If rooms are present in only one phase, that phase is already selected automatically.

You can assign plans and main views using the drop-down lists. Alternatively, you can assign them via a parts list or plan list.

The status informs you that:

• whether a floor plan has already been assigned to the room.
• whether main views have already been assigned to the room (for creating dependent top views).
• whether this plan already contains views.

To create views, the room must meet the following requirements:

• A plan must be assigned to the room.
• The assigned plan must not contain any views.

If these conditions are met, the status "Assignment successful" will be displayed; the room can now be selected and views can be created.

In "Generate views based on" mode, there is an additional requirement that must be met:

• The room must be assigned a main floor plan view and a main ceiling plan view. These are the foreman's plan views from which the dependent views for the room are generated.

Rooms with a status other than "Assignment successful" cannot be selected.

On the Settings page, you can customize the creation of room views to suit your preferences.

The following Settings can be made:

• Parameter definition for assignment
• View properties for each view type
  
  —view window type—
  view template—
  scale—
  label family—offsets

Let's take a closer look at the parameter definition:

• Plan parameter for room number
  The plan parameter in which the room number is entered.
• Top View Creation
  Create top views for rooms as new views or as dependent views.
• Plan Parameter for Parent GR; Ceiling Plan
  This parameter must only be defined in "Create Dependent Top Views" mode. In this mode, the view names of the main views must be entered in the selected plan parameter. Only then will the corresponding room have the status "Assignment Successful".

Wall views can be created either as views or as sections.

The design is based on the room's outline.

• A view is created for each room edge
• Room edges with a length < 0.5 m are ignored
• By default, the sections are placed inside the room at a distance of 1 m from the room edge. However, this distance can be freely configured.

The following floor plan illustrates the placement of section lines and the view.

1. Make sure that a floor plan is available in the model for all the rooms you want.
2. Assign a floor plan to the rooms.

If the desired parameter is not yet available:

• Add the "Plans" category to the project parameter.

• Create the plans using the plan tool.
• Select the parameter ATP_RoomNumber as the plan parameter for the assignment.

Click the button to start "Create Room Views."

The user interface opens and displays the room list.

Use the drop-down lists to assign a floor plan to the rooms.

Now select the rooms for which you want to generate views.

Then click the "Create" button.
The views are now being generated; the user interface will keep you updated on the progress.

The views have been successfully generated and placed on the corresponding plans. The status of the rooms has been updated and now reads "Views Available."

Close the window if you do not want to generate any more views.

The following are automatically created and placed in each room:

• 1 Floor Plan
• 1 ceiling plan
• 1 elevation/section per room edge
• 1 3D isometric view (optional)
