Room data sheets for the calculation of quantities and areas

Features of the Plan layout module

• Selecting quantities
  

  The user interface consists of two tree views - Scope and Selection. The required scope, construction elements and quantities are activated and deactivated using check boxes.
  
  Visualisations can be produced for buildings, floors or individual apartments. The visibility of deactivated objects remains unchanged.
  
  A particular level can of course be activated or deactivated in a view using the settings for visible layers, e.g. ground floor, upper floor, top floor.
  
  The elements to be displayed within the chosen scope can be selected in the 'Selection' tree view
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

• Options for quantities
  

  If the option for 'Automatically adjust element representation' is activated, then quantities and construction elements that have not been selected appear transparent or are invisible, otherwise they will be displayed normally.
  
  In the section for area segmentation you can specify whether areas should be divided into sub-areas. If so, areas are divided up according to the formula for segmentation, and are displayed in different colours.
  
  The formulas used for segmentation can also be displayed, and their text properties modified if necessary.
  
  
  
  

• Monitoring living space with colored representation
  

  This function provides a colored representation of living space in 2D and 3D views, which conforms to the living space ordinance and DIN 277.
  
  The following data and evaluations are provided:
  
  - Floor area
  - Living space
  - Net floor area < 1.5 m
  - Net floor area > 1.5 m
  - Total net floor area
  - Room volume
  - Net cubic capacity
  
  The floor areas are shown of course at the appropriate height.
  
  The floor plan can be represented in 2D or 3D and is a great help in documenting the calculation of living space according to DIN 277 or the living space ordinance.
  
  
  
  

• Living space data in list form
  

  The Quantities module also offers the possibility of creating room data sheets for the definition of living space according to the living space ordinance (WoFlV), and the calculation of room cubic capacity according to DIN 277.
  
  The following formats are available for outputting living space data in list form:
  
  - HTML
  - XLS (Microsoft Excel Table)
  - RTF (Rich Text Format)
  - PDF (Portable Document Format) - is the standard format for documents and can be displayed with freeware programs such as the Adobe Acrobat Reader.
  
  
  

• Monitoring quantities with colored representation
  

  This function provides a colored representation of quantities in 2D and 3D views.
  
  The following data and evaluations can be selected:
  
  - Floors: Floor area and volume
  - Walls: Footprint, skin-surface area and volume
  - Ceilings: Ceiling area and volume
  - Chimneys: Footprint, skin-surface area and volume
  - Supports: Footprint, skin-surface area and volume
