The Layout Room tool creates a layout room, which is an optional container for equipment racks. Equipment racks placed within the boundary of the room will inherit the Room ID parameter as a read-only parameter denoting location.
Alternatively, create a closed 2D shape and then select the Create Objects from Shapes command (see Creëer objecten op basis van vormen).
Layout rooms can be stacked on top of each other or nested. If layout rooms are nested, a dot (.) separates the room names in the Room ID parameter (for example, MAIN.0, MAIN.1).
To create a layout room:
Click the tool and select a drawing mode.
Do one of the following:
In Rectangle mode, draw the rectangular room shape, similar to drawing a rectangle in Corner to Corner mode.
In Polygon mode, draw a closed polygon shape.
Place polygonal layout rooms on architectural floor plans to define the location of non-rack equipment.
The parameters can be edited from the Object Info palette.
