Room core information
Room core information is displayed and can be changed by selecting Open->Room core from
the menu or selecting a room and using the short-cut keys SHIFT+ENTER.
Figure 9: Fields in the room core may differ from project to project.
The room core contains a set of information which is unique for each room in the project. The
room's function number is automatically assigned by the system according to the function
under which you have placed the room. The room function number is the most important
piece of information in the room core and identifies the room. This number will never be reused and follows the room for its entire life cycle.
Room name and room name description
It is essential for a project to maintain consistency when naming rooms. dRofus has
functionality to help with this. A room can be named using two fields, name and name
description. The intention here is to provide the room with a general name, such as "Office",
"WC" etc. to allow simple searches for rooms of the same type. Subsequently, a room is
assigned a more specific description, such as "1 person" and "Ladies" so that the complete
room name is "Office, 1 person" and "WC, Ladies". The rooms will be displayed like this in all
lists and reports, i.e. "room name, room name description". Room names are selected from
the drop-down list. If you do not find the room name in the list, check whether the project has
other names in use. If not, type it in. When you save, you will receive a message stating that
the name will be entered in the list of permitted room names. When you have selected a room
name, the list of room name descriptions will display the descriptions which are relevant for
the room name chosen. Choose one of these or type in a new one. If you enter a name
description which has not been used before together with the selected room name, you will be
asked if you want to add the description to the list of suggestions. Ref. also chapter 4.5 Room
name manager.
Areas and measurements
A room has a number of unique areas and dimensions. The project will define which and how
many of these are to be used in addition to the standard: Programmed and designed area,
perimeter and ceiling height. Note that the parameter Programmed Gross Area is a read-only
parameter showing the programmed area multiplied by Programmed area Gross/Net factor
4.8).
