The Space Info step defines the area to be planned for a project. The information you enter depends on your workflow and whether the project covers one or multiple floors.
Space Info for Property Marketing Projects
When you open a saved space, its information is preloaded.
Confirm that you selected the correct space and floors.
Review the space name, floor numbers, calculated area, and floor plan files.
Use the floor plan toolbar to mark the project’s planning requirements and elements to retain.
Note: To change the Stated Space Area shown in the report, edit it in the space setup.
Space Info for Single-Floor Independent Projects
After completing Property Info:
Enter the Floor Number.
Upload the Floor File.
Under Area Calculation Method, select Gross or Net.
Enter the Planning Area.
Review the floor plan preview and mark the planning requirements using the toolbar.
Space Info for Multi-Floor Independent Projects
The documented multi-floor workflow uses the Detailed program.
In Space Info, select the multi-floor option.
Enter the floor numbers.
Select the Reception Floor.
Choose whether your area measurements are Gross or Net.
Click Next.
For each floor:
Upload its floor plan file.
Enter the area to be planned.
Mark the planning requirements using the toolbar.
Repeat until all floors are complete.
Notes:
Use a multi-floor project when planning several floors for the same client.
For different clients, create separate projects so each can have its own requirements.
If each floor has a reception, select the reception floor you want featured in the visualizations.
Marking Your Floor Plan
Use the floor plan toolbar to:
Define the planning area.
Mark the main entrance.
Identify outdoor spaces.
Mark utilities such as an IT room, pantry, WCs, or existing stairs.
Identify rooms or interior walls to retain.
For Property Marketing projects, floor files and saved area selections are preloaded. For Independent Projects, upload a file for each floor.
Note: Vector files are recommended. Non-vector files may require additional processing time.
Continue or Save a Draft
Click Next to continue to Program or Visualization, depending on the project type.
To pause, select Save Draft. You can resume from the Projects section of qbiqPlan.
