Set room symbol

Sets a room symbol

Button:

Command name: SetRoomSymbol

A room symbol is required for each room in the CAD floor plan. This can be set manually or automatically. Before setting a room symbol, the surrounding surfaces of the room (walls) must be tapped. Opening areas (doors/windows) as well as the floor and ceiling can be added later.

Tip:
In addition to setting the room symbols manually, you can also have them generated automatically.
Setting the room symbols manually:
  1. Place the room symbol in the drawing by left-clicking on it.
    The Edit room symbol dialogue is displayed.
  2. Expand the Heating drop-down menu and select the heating type for the corresponding room.
  3. Expand the Minimum air change drop-down menu and select the minimum air change corresponding to a room category.
  4. Expand the Standard indoor temperature drop-down menu and select the standard indoor temperature according to a room category.
    Note:
    If you want to calculate differently from the standard, you can freely edit the fields.
  5. If you have created room types, you can select these room types in the Type room drop-down menu.
  6. You can select the corresponding room type under Description in the Room book area. You can edit the floor and room number in the fields below.
    Note:
    When setting the room symbols, the room number is incremented and the floor number is adjusted if necessary. Only the properties are transferred, not content from the room book, e.g. the name.
  7. Once you have made the appropriate settings, click OK.
  8. Place the next room symbol in the drawing.
  9. Exit the command with ESC or the right mouse button.
    • The context menu (right-click on a room symbol) takes you to Edit room symbol... to edit the room symbols.
    • Double-click to open the Edit room symbols dialogue.
