Adding Rooms

AGi32 provides for three different types of rooms: rectangular, round/elliptical and polygon, each with its own various ceiling configurations for your use. Rooms are intended for interior applications and do not provide any reflective or obstructive characteristics on the outside of the room. They may be edited to change their reflectances, ceiling and wall heights, and copied or moved as necessary.

Rectangular Rooms

Rectangular rooms have a rectangular footprint with factory supplied or user defined ceiling configurations. Some of the more common yet complex ceiling types can be created automatically for you including pyramid, barrel vault, dome, gable and hip roofs. In these cases, you will be prompted to specify some basic inputs, such as wall and ceiling heights, and the reflectances of the room interior. Then, simply specify the footprint of the room in the graphics window and Voila! the roof will be automatically added. In addition, you may also create a vertically extruded section of the room that will be applied linearly throughout the user-defined space.

Round/Elliptical Rooms

AGi32 provides three types of round rooms; dome, flat and vertical rotation. Flat and domed rooms are created by locating the center of the room and then specifying its radius. The room will automatically be created according to the wall height and dome height specification in the dialogs. Vertical Rotation rooms allow for customization of the room profile and allow you to create a partial circular segment, such as an amphitheater, if desired.

Polygon Rooms

Polygon rooms are characterized by their non rectangular footprint and may have curved or angular surfaces, if desired. Polygon rooms with flat ceilings are provided for your use. Polygon rooms receive a flat ceiling atop the room walls after the room outline is drawn in the graphics window.
