Workpack: Redraw Rooms by Walls

What is the ‘Redraw Rooms by Walls’ Feature?

• It gives users the ability to draw or redraw Room Areas using existing Walls.
• The feature has two major use cases:

  • Add Walls from scratch and then get the Rooms using the feature:

    

  • Get Walls from AI processing, then edit them and update the Rooms:

    

How to Redraw the Rooms

• Make sure that all Walls of the selected Takeoff Zone are properly connected to each other:

  • By default, if Walls are connected, they show active open locks:

    

  • It doesn’t matter if locks are open or closed

  • Be careful - not all Walls that look connected are connected:

    

  • Fix all required connections using the Snap-To-Points mode:

    

• When all Walls in a Takeoff Zone are ready, click on ‘…’ next to the Rooms node in the left panel, then click on Re-process all Rooms. If the Rooms node is absent, switch it on in Filters:

  

  

• The Re-processing Confirmation window opens, confirming that all Rooms will be redrawn:

  

• Click Re-process and wait for the Rooms to be pulled from the server:

  

• Ready — brand new Rooms are drawn over existing Walls, ready to check and edit.

Important Notes

• All Rooms in the selected Takeoff Zone will be redrawn during Room re-processing — this means all rooms that were edited or added since last processing will be wiped out before getting new Rooms.

• Room Groups added before using Rooms re-drawing will be removed.

• If there were no Room Labels before using Rooms Re-drawing, all new Rooms will go to an ‘Unlabeled’ group.

• If Room Labels were present before using the feature, Rooms will be matched to Room Labels. How that works:

  • If a Room contains some Room Label symbol inside, it will be placed in the Group with the name defined by the text of this symbol:

    

  • If a Room includes two or more Room Label symbols or none of them, it will go to the Unlabeled group:
