Layout of spaces and obstacles

The "Spaces" group in the main toolbar contains the options for inserting and arranging spaces and obstacles in the model:

New

Inserts a space in the work area by drawing its outline on the floor plan. There is no need to enter the spaces manually if they have been read and imported from the BIM model.

When entering a space, the program requires the following parameters to be defined:

  • Reference
    Space reference.
  • Type
    Selection of the space type. The space types can be created and edited using the options available to the right of the drop-down menu or through the libraries available in "General options", within the "Project" group.
  • Thermal load
    Activates and defines the thermal load of the space. In the case of spaces imported from the BIM model, this data can be read from the information provided in the BIM model.
    • Sensitive cooling load (optional)
    • Heating load (optional)

Obstacle

Inserts an obstacle by drawing its outline on the floor plan. This represents the existence of fixed furniture, columns and other elements that impede the layout of the underfloor heating in certain parts of a space.

The program shall consider the geometry of the obstacle when generating a circuit layout.
