Entering and generating spaces

Within the "Installation" tab, in the "Spaces" group of the main toolbar, there are options for entering and generating spaces in the model:

New

Enters a new space by drawing it directly in the program freely.

When entering a space, the program allows users to define the following parameters:

  • Reference
    Space reference.
  • Checks
    Assigns the checks to be carried out in the space. Using the wizard on the right, one of the previously defined checks can be imported. The tools available in "Checks by type of space", accessible from "General options", in the "Project" group, are used to create and configure the checks in the spaces.
  • Free height
    Free height value of the space.

Then, the outline of the space is drawn in plan.

When editing a previously entered space, the "Reference", "Checks" and "Free height" can be modified, as well as the "Elevation above ground level" and the "3D arrangement" of the space. In the latter, the absolute "X" and "Y" coordinates of the vertices of each of the polygons that define its plan outline are defined.

Generate

Generates the spaces in the program from the spaces read from the BIM model.

To be able to use this option, the job must be connected to a project hosted in BIMserver.center that includes the definition of spaces and, also, in the initial wizard that appears when creating a new job or when using the "Update" option in the "BIMserver.center" group, the corresponding classification of the spaces read from the IFC file must have been established according to the specific types required by CYPEFIRE Hydraulic Systems.

Note:
After generation, users can edit the spaces and modify the same parameters as in the case of freely entered spaces. However, if the "Generate" option is used again, the program will re-generate the space information from the BIM model data without taking these modifications into account.
