Regions

Last updated 6 months ago

The Regions feature defines restricted areas within a building that cannot be crossed during the path planning and route generation process. These regions can represent various elements within the building, such as no-go zones, building boundaries, or areas designated for specific systems.


1. How It Works

  • Intersections: Regions can intersect with each other or be inserted into each other, allowing for complex configurations and layouts.

  • No Path Navigation: Paths and navigation between regions are not possible.

  • Multiple Uses: Regions can represent various elements within the building, such as:

    • No-Go Zones: Areas like stairwells, electrical rooms, or openings where pipes should not pass.

    • Building Boundaries: Physical boundaries that the routing process should respect, such as exterior building boundaries.

    • System Zones: Areas designated for specific systems where routing for other systems should be avoided, ensuring system segregation and adherence to design requirements.


2. Defining a Region

By using the Regions feature, users can ensure that the route generation process respects building constraints, keeps different systems separated, and avoids specific zones within the design.

To define a region, refer to the section for the process of creating, managing, and editing regions within the software.
