Room Data Visualization
Explains the concept of visualizing MEP space data.
With space data visualization, all parameters of MEP spaces can be visualized. This function can be used for a wide variety of purposes in different planning phases. You can use this function, for example, to check room sizes, room occupancy, or the number of certain room types before detecting the building with LINEAR Building. Alternatively, you can also generate visualized views of specific parameters such as heat load, temperatures, or volume flow rates for use in plans.
In space data visualization, the parameter values of selected MEP space data for individual rooms are displayed in color in a temporary 3D view. To do this, visualization objects are created in the temporary view for all MEP spaces in the project. These objects are linked to the MEP spaces and colored according to the visualization settings. The direct link between visualization objects and MEP spaces means that changes to the properties of visualization objects are passed on directly to the corresponding MEP spaces. The visualization objects are generic placeholders that correspond to the spatial volumes of the MEP spaces and their location in the model. The coloring of the visualization objects is implemented through the use of filters. In addition to the color assignments of the parameter values, the filters also contain visualization information regarding the color saturation and transparency of the visualization bodies, as well as information for legend creation and design. When generating the temporary view with the visualization of the selected parameter, a legend is automatically created.
Both parameters with continuous and discrete data types can be visualized. For continuous data types, different color gradations for specific value ranges of the parameter are used to create evaluation scales, which can be customized. You can adjust the colors between which the color gradations take place, as well as the number of gradations. For continuous data types, colors are automatically assigned to the different parameter values.
Once you have configured the visualization according to your requirements, you can save the view so that it is then available in the list of views and can be used, for example, in plans. Saving legends is not yet supported. Various functions are available in the area Space Data Visualization ... for editing and updating saved views.
