Rooms Module
(F) How to Create a Room List Program-
Creating rooms in Client, Import Rooms from Revit,
Import Rooms from IFC, Import Rooms From Excel.
Demo Room Import from Excel
(F) What is the Function Structure-Organized structure [Departments)
-Function numbers based on function structure
-Before creating the rooms Decide Naming and depth of levels
-Room function numbering rules
-Example: Use 3 digits for last running number,
using “-” as a separator. ##.##-###
Room Core
(F) Numbers-Room ID (GUID)
Room function number
-Generated by dRofus.
-Unique in the database.
-Can not be reused
-Tells what functional structure it belongs
“Geographical” room number
-The number from the architect
-Normally tells about location in the building
User room number
-The number used by the end user
-Normally introduced late in the project
Other numbers ?
(F) Names and Room Name Manager-Name consists of:
-Room name (”classification”)
-Room name description (”specification”)
Drawing name
-Name used in the drawing/model
-Can be defined by rules (Full name X Drawing name Y)
Manage names using the ”room name manager”
-The project can lock the user to only use predefined names from the room core window.
(F) Notes, Pictures, Documents- Each room can be given a ”yellow note”
-Indicated in the room list
-Users with limited access can write notes
Pictures
-The room can have several images added
-Can be included in reports
Documents
-Users can upload documents to the room
Pictures and documents attached to a room template show on the room if the room has RDS from the template.
-
(F) Room Data Sheet Status -A room can have RDS either as:
-Not created
-Unique (all values are unique for this room)
-From a room template (shared with many rooms)
-Derived from a room template (most values from a template, but some unique)
Normally recommended to use templates as much as possible (at least in the early stage) to:
-Make consistent data
-For human readability (if you know template XX you don't need to check the room)
If you have values that you know are unique for each room – use room core fields
Copy to/from rooms or templates
Derived Values
(A) Areas: Gross/ Net Factors -Program Net vs Design Net vs Design Gross
-Gross/Net factor can be applied to the lowest departmental level (sub department)
-Gross/net factor for main department calculated based on the factor on the subs
(A) What happens when a room is deleted - Only administrators can permanently delete rooms
-Normally rooms are marked as deleted
-Can be reactivated
-Prohibits reuse of numbers
(A) How to use View Filters - Lets the project hide irrelevant fields from the enterprise settings
-Can have filters for different phases in the project
-If no filter all RDS fields are shown
An RDS view filter can be:
-Default. This filter will be used as default for all uses and is the one used by reports.
-User view. This indicates that the user can select this view once in dRofus.
(A) How is the Functional Program Used
-Add data to functions/ departments.
-Create dynamic GUI to define a preset of
fields the user can write to.
-Used to create requirements for the project by departmental level and for the project as a whole.
-Can be used to add other project information.
(A) Using Groups to Group Rooms Together
E.g.
-User groups
-Security groups
-Tenants
-Equipment budgets.
-Group type defines the grouping of groups (e.g. User groups).
-The group type has one or more groups.
-A room can be member of only one group per type.
-Reports and calculations can be grouped by and sorted by groups
(A) Creating Reports-Creating Reports, Custom Reports.
(A) Other Report Possibilities
Use in-house tools to generate custom reports from
-dRofus XML
Direct connection to database
-Access
-Excel
-Other?
-«Updatable» Excel
(A) Using Logs- Log from RDS/FF&E window. Filter.
-Available logs and use of filters
-Log notes
Change lists
-Group log entries for changes in RDS or room core
-Start logging with change list/log notes
-Force use of change list
Templates Module
(F) Templates
Room Templates
-Room Core
-Room Data Sheet
-Items List (Equipment, Finishes, Etc.)
RDS Templates
Item Templates
-Equipment Templates
-Finishes Templates
-
(F) RDS Templates
Room Data Sheet
-When you want to separate RDS template effort from Room Templates
-No Items
-No Groups
-No Core
(F) Item Templates
Item List per Item Templates
-One for Each Item List – Finishes typically managed this way.
-
-
(ADM) Import/ Update Templates
Import and update Room Templates and Room Template core information.
-dRofus->Import/update and choosing Import/update room template.
-
(ADM) Dynamic GUI
(ADM) RDS
The graphical user interface (GUI) in dRofus is stored in the database as meta-data including the RDS schema
The dynamic GUI defines:
-How the schema is presented in the GUI
-How the data is stored (data type)
-Validation rules
-How data is exported to IFC
-How data is shown in reports
In many cases can create filters so that the user is only presented to a sub-set of the fields
(ADM) Dynamic GUI Editor Layout
Navigate through editor
-Flag
-Group
-Element
-Field
-Properties of selected Item
-Preview of current flag/Tab
-
(ADM) Field (data element)
-Represents a data value
-Can have a label and tooltip
-Fields can be enabled/disabled by a logical (yes/no) fields
-Set where data should be exported in IFC
Different data types:
-Fixed text (read only text value to show in GUI)
-Formatted text. Rich text editor (bold, italic, underline, bullet points etc.)
-Single line edit. Single row text field
-Multi line edit. Multiple rows if text
-Radio button / combo box. Selection of predefined values
-Date
-Logical. Yes/no values
