Workpack: Room Interiors

This article offers an overview of the Room Interiors feature that was added to Workpack as part of the 9/7/2025 update.

You can track updates to Workpack, and all of Beck Tech's other products, via the Product Updates section of the Help Center.

Room Interiors (RIs) are polygonal objects detected in order to take off the inner area of rooms, i.e. by inner side of the room walls.
RI polygon is a feature of a Room object. A Room has inner and outer polygons measuring net and gross perimeters and areas.

RIs are detected if Rooms are set to be detected. As a result, user gets two measurements per Room - a Net Area (drawn as a Room Interior) and a Gross Area.
Room Interior detection can’t be turned off.

There are two modes of viewing Rooms: default one and Room Interior mode. To switch RI mode on, click on the square icon near to Rooms node in the Left Panel:
Properties Panel shows measurements for both gross (default) and net (Room Interiors) areas:
A net area is always lesser than its according gross area.

You can add Room in both modes. Drawing a room from the default mode adds a Room Interior with inner offset, and drawing in RI mode draws an outer polygon with an outer offset:
Edit: add, move or delete points in Rooms and Room Interiors are independent except two cases:
- If a point of a Room Interior goes out of a Room polygon, then the Room polygon is redrawn so that it completely encloses the interior polygon inside.
- If a point of a Room goes inside of a Room Interior polygon, then the Room Interior polygon is redrawn so that the Room polygon completely encloses the interior polygon inside.
Deleting from either mode deletes Room totally including both gross and net polygons.

Three new columns were added to the Rooms and Room Groups tab: Net LF, Net SF, Net Wall SF:
For now, Room Interiors’ measurements do not take Exclusion Areas into account (EA support will be delivered in future updates).
