Room Labeling

The Room Labeling dialog is available from within any room dialog by clicking on the Labeling button. This dialog provides the ability to attach a label to rooms and room surfaces that identifies the element's characteristics (such as label name, project name, reflectance, etc.) Each element (room, room surfaces) has its own tab and unique labeling options.

Room labels are dynamic and will update themselves, upon redraw, if the room has been modified.

Label the room

This labeling option is available for all rooms.

  1. Click in the selection box adjacent to the labeling options you are interested in.
  2. If desired, change the current font and text size.
  3. Click Ok.

The room may be labeled with the following options:

Room Label - this option will extract the label name associated with this room and locate it below the first point of the room.

Description - this option will extract the user-defined description associated with this room and locate it below the first point of the room.

Project Name - this option will extract the project name associated with this room and locate it below the first point of the room.

Coordinates - this option extracts the X, Y and Z coordinate information of each vertex in the room perimeter. Arcs will be broken into straight wall segments and each segment will be labeled.

Wall Height - this option extracts the wall height specified in the room dialog and locates it below the first point of the room.

 

Label the room surfaces

This labeling option is available for all rooms. Room surface labels are useful for identifying a particular ceiling or wall surface. The labels may overlap and may need to be moved using the Modify-Room-Labels-Move command (image\room-labelsbtn.jpg)

  2. Click in the selection box adjacent to the labeling options you are interested in.
  3. If desired, change the current font and text size.
  4. Click Ok.
