A room is an outline with a name. Floorkit calculates its area and its perimeter. Use rooms for labels on a plan and for area lists.

Before you start

You have a session from Start a building.

Write the room

The outline follows the inner faces of the walls. For walls 0.2 metres thick on a 6 by 4 metre outline, the room starts 0.1 metres inside.

Add it to the storey

A room is an entry in the spaces list of its storey.
The add-element command adds the room to the list, and the session builds it. You keep the session and its undo history. The command rejects an id that the list has.

Read the area

After the build, get the room from the session and read its values.

Rules

  • You give the outline. Floorkit does not find rooms from walls.
  • area is in square metres. Holes in the outline are subtracted.
  • show3D: true shows the room as a translucent volume.

Next

Add a storey
