Copying Rooms - Concepts

Rooms of all types can be copied as required in the current job file. This command is very useful for commercial lighting projects with many rooms of the same size and shape - such as office buildings or schools.

• Copies will retain the original room attributes such as Wall Height and color/reflectance. Once a room is copied, its properties can be modified with the Edit Room command.
• Any Labeling applied to the room will also be retained, however, if any labels have been moved on the original, they will be returned to their original locations on the copied rooms. Any grid of points added to the original room with the Calculation Points-Automatic Placement command will not be copied with the room.
• Each room copy will be labeled with the original room name and appended with “ _#” (e.g. _1, _2, etc.) For example, if RoomABC is copied twice, the first copy will be labeled RoomABC_1, the second RoomABC_2.
• The selected room will be displayed using the Selected Entity Color (default color is gray). The Selected Entity Color may be changed in the Defaults tab of the System Settings dialog.
