Overview of Room Design Functionality

The Room Design application provides a bespoke database architecture which captures the needs and requirements for the associated architectural activities. This new data model allows the disciplines to capture both the design intent for easy modification and the detail used for Material Take Off (MTO) and production requirements.

The owning element for all of the Room Design elements is the Building Block (BBLOCK) element which is analogous to the SITE element. The offspring and main administrative elements of the BBLOCK are listed below;

• Building Level (BLEVEL)

• Open Space (OPENSP)

• Restricted Area (RSTARE)

• Route Volume (RUTVOL)

• Stair Well (STRWEL)

• Detail Group (DETGRP)

• Boundary Line (BNDLIN)

• Area Definition (AREADE)

The elements listed above have their own offspring fulfilling specific functional objectives and these will be described in more detail in the following chapters.
