Configuring A Detailed Program:
Option 1: Using the Floor Plan Profile
Begin with the Floor Plan Profile on the left-hand side to define layout characteristics.
Once completed, tap the Generate Program button.
Close the Floor Plan Profile panel by clicking the blue arrow.
Customize your amenities selection by going through the Room Types tabs.
Option 2: Skipping the Floor Plan Profile
Skip the Floor Plan Profile stage by clicking the blue arrow and immediately begin selecting amenities directly through the Room Types tabs.
Notes:
The Floor Plan Profile stage is an optional, quick-start tool to assist you, although it's not mandatory. You can always begin selecting facilities as soon as you reach the Program step.
When working on a multi-floor project in the Program step, defining the floor plan profile and amenities selection will apply to all floors. The Stacking stage is designed to fine-tune each individual floor.
Customizing Room Types:
You can navigate between the array of facility icons, seamlessly transitioning between them, and then dive into selecting your desired room types. Upon adding a facility, you can specify the desired number of units, adjust its dimensions, and seamlessly position it within the floor plan.
Number of Units:
You can select the desired amount of units using the + - buttons or directly input an exact number in the field.Change Measurements:
For most room types, you can input the exact size into the designated field.For team offices, you can click on the dropdown to select your desired desk size. The area of these rooms will depend on your desk selection.
For conference rooms, you can only type in the number of people you’d like to fit. The area will depend on the seats you want.
Placement Preference:
Click here for a video tutorial on how to mark preferred locations for specific rooms.
You can access the Placement Preference feature by tapping the blue arrow button. This feature empowers you to customize the placement of your room types.
You can choose one of three options:
Window - places the room on the perimeter, next to a window.
Core - situates the chosen facility on the interior, near the main infrastructure lines.
Flexible -this is the default option. qbiq's AI system is empowered to place the facilities within the floor plan.
Alternatively, you can manually place a room type on the floor plan:
Tap Place on Plan indicated by the location icon. This action will reveal a display of the floor plan's image.
Pin your preferred location.
Once you have made the placement, tap Done to return to Program-Detailed. You will notice a blue location pin icon on the facility that has just been placed.

Then, utilize the Add New Room feature to customize a smaller executive suite.
2D-3D Toggle
This toggle, on the top right-hand side of your screen, lets you view each facility in either 3D or 2D mode, providing a flexible and immersive experience. Switching the toggle to 2D will not affect or cancel the virtual tour.
Program Summary:
The program summary panel located on the right-hand side consistently presents up-to-date data based on the facilities incorporated into the plan. It provides essential information such as the number of people, occupied area, density, and general distribution.
People - The summary reveals the projected number of individuals that will occupy the floor plan, considering the selected facilities, which may include:
Offices
Team Offices
Open Space
Reception
Density - The summary displays the space ratio for one person. This figure helps to maximize space utilization. Follow it along the planning process to ensure the floor plan is not too dense or, by contrast, too spacious.
Floor Plan Utilization Progress Bar:
The progress bar illustrates the floor plan's utilized space. As you begin selecting facilities, this progress bar will gradually fill from left to right, using colors corresponding to the chosen facilities.
When hovering over this bar, a tooltip will appear displaying the total area for each room type category and the available (Net) area from your floor plan.
A blue-striped rectangle on the progress bar's right side indicates the proportion of the floor plan's estimated circulation*. If you exceed the available area, a red warning banner will display:
Please Note: the program exceeds the area. Use the program summary calculator to track your floor capacity.
While qbiq allows you to proceed–adjusting the facility units accordingly is highly recommended. If the selected program exceeds the vacant floor plan area, qbiq will randomly modify the floor plan’s facility units to comply with the area measurements.
If you’re submitting an independent project, a black and white striped rectangle will be presented only when predefining the area calculation units in RSF (Rentable Square Feet) or GROSS square meters. This rectangle indicates the estimated core proportion of the floor plan.
Below the progress bar, you'll find a list of facilities, each represented by a specific color and accompanied by the percentage of the floor plan they occupy.
* Circulation represents the people's movement spaces within the floor plan—for example, entrances, lobbies, corridors, and stairs.
Total & Departments Tabs:
Total - Displays the selected room types. Each room type pane provides information regarding its space occupation ratio, the count of added facilities, and the area it covers.
Departments - This feature allows you to create and name departments to determine divisions according to your client’s needs. For example, if you are designing a high-tech company’s floor plan, you can create a department for R&D and design their department with the needed workstations. You can add an HR department featuring a separate Focus Room or a small Employee Lounge to facilitate comfortable interview settings.
