Place rooms and room tags.

In

a room is an object that defines the space within a building.
00:08
When designing a building,
00:09
we think about the rooms that we need to create
00:12
such as kitchens, living rooms, bedrooms, offices, or classrooms.
00:16
And we model the objects that will enclose those rooms such as the walls, doors,
00:20
floors, and roofs.
00:22
And the room is the object that represents that enclosed space.
00:27
It calculates its dimensions such as the area and volume
00:30
and allows us to assign information such as the name, number,
00:34
finishes or departments.
00:36
And they can also be used to locate other objects
00:39
that are able to detect the room that they inhabit.
00:44
We're currently looking at the floor three plan view.
00:47
We can see in this office layout here that we have quite a number of rooms placed
00:52
and they all have tags associated with them
00:54
that display their name number and area.
00:57
And if we zoom in a little closer, and I'll select the reception tag just here.
01:02
We can see that that highlights the boundary of the room that it is attached to.
01:08
And if I move my mouse to the side of the tag here,
01:10
we can actually select the room object itself.
01:14
Now looking at the properties pallet,
01:16
we can see we have dimensions for area perimeter and volume
01:20
volume is not set to be computed in this project
01:23
as we are not performing any analysis or calculations that require it.
01:27
And the model actually works quicker without the volume being computed
01:32
below this, we can see we also have the name and number.
01:35
The room itself is bounded by objects in the model.
01:39
So if I select this wall
01:40
here
01:41
and then look at the properties palette,
01:43
we can see we have the room bounding parameter which is selected
01:48
and this wall along with the others around the reception here,
01:50
create the boundary for that room.
01:52
And if you were to move this wall,
01:55
the rooms that are bounded by that such as this reception
01:57
and the two offices here would change their dimensions to suit.
02:03
Now, looking at the end of the plan here,
02:05
we can see we have some spaces here that don't yet have rooms placed in them.
02:09
So to do this, I'll go to the architecture ribbon tab
02:13
and from the rooms and areas panel,
02:15
we'll click the room tool.
02:17
Now, looking at the place rooms, ribbon tab here,
02:21
we can see that we have the tag on placement option enabled.
02:24
And in type selector, we'll change the room tag to be the room tag with area type.
02:31
Now looking at the plan,
02:32
we can see where we have rooms already placed as they're now shaded in blue.
02:37
And as we move around the outside of the building,
02:39
we can see we have a room attached to our cursor. However, it's not in an enclosed area
02:45
as we move over the building here and it finds an enclosed space,
02:48
we can see it take up the size of that room
02:51
and I'll move to the next one just here.
02:54
And now we can just click to place that room into that space.
02:58
And now we can continue to work our way around the other spaces here
03:01
and just click to place a room into each one.
03:05
So now that we have all of those placed, I'll click, modify to finish the room tool.
03:10
And now looking at the rooms that we've just placed,
03:13
we can see on their tags that they've all been assigned the name of room.
03:18
And this is a default for whenever we create a new room.
03:22
So I'll select the tag attached to this room here.
03:27
And now I can click on the room field
03:29
and we'll assign this the name of conference room,
03:39
looking at the other rooms. We have quite a few of them will be called office.
03:43
So
03:44
I'll select the room itself here and then
03:47
holding the control key down. We can select the other rooms along the edge here
03:53
and I'll go to the properties palette.
03:56
I'm from the name parameter here.
03:59
I'll start to type in office and then we can pick that from the list.
04:04
And then once we apply that we can see all
04:06
of those rooms are updated with the name of office.
