9.5.1. Room book inside a wall and Room book wizard

If the room is bounded by walls we suggest you to use the Roombook inside a wall command.

Clicking inside the room bounded by walls the room book is created. The room book is associated to the walls. This means the room book follows the modification of the walls automatically or after the refreshing.

• Select the Room book tool - Room book inside a wall command with the left button of the mouse.

• Click inside the room bounded by single walls,

The Room book wizard dialog appears. This is the place where you can define the data you would like to visualize on the room stamp.

2You can also set the Room book properties before the placement. Click Room book tool with the right button of the mouse, or use the Modeling menu - Properties - Room bookcommand.

First we describe how the Room book wizardworks in general, independently from the geometrical parameter inputs. It will help us in the area calculations of rooms defined by free polygon contours, too.

When you place a room book you have to give the settings in the sub dialogs that can be found on the left side of the main dialog. The order of definition is arbitrary; it depends only on the optional area definitions you would like to take into consideration. These options can be found in the Norms and rules dialog. This is the place where other graphical information is needed from the drawing. (E.g.: freely defined areas have to be added or the transparent doors are also considered, etc.) In these cases you must enter the data of Room book wizard in more steps.

• First fill in the data of Norms and rules and Clear height sub-dialogs. If you select at least one option among the optional rules to which you have to define an input, the other dialogs (Room stamp text, Abbreviations, Border surfaces, Properties) become gray until you give all input necessary for applying the rules. Gray dialogs will be unavailable (see the gray color text below because of the Minus freely defined area without condition option).

• Click Ok to leave the dialog temporarily and give the necessary information from the drawing (in our example you have to define a freely defined area that should be subtracted from the room area).

• OK Close the room book wizard.

• Insert the room book on the plan.

• Insert also the flat name if the Flat option is switched on in the Room stamp text dialog.

The room book tooltip signs the type of the room book:
