Draw the Inner Walls

Wall materials affect the propagation and estimation models. Accurate representation of walls is essential to the accuracy of the model.

We recommend that you draw inner walls for a custom environment and choose material types, such as concrete around stairwells. It is important that you draw inner walls that are made of concrete or brick because these materials have a strong affect on the propagation. If installation requires that an AP be placed within a walled area, then define both walls on either side of the AP.

Note

If you do not want to create a custom environment and draw the inner walls, you can select basic inner wall types from the Environment drop-down list instead, such as office drywall or cubicle walls. Office drywall has minimal impact on the floor plan propagation.

To draw inner walls for a custom environment:

From the Draw Walls option, select a wall materials type from the drop-down list.
The pen tool is enabled.
To anchor the line drawing, select a corner of the inner wall.
Select each corner of the inner wall to anchor the line, and progress to the next corner.
When you reach the end of your inner wall boundary, double-click the last corner to anchor the final line and disable the pen tool.

Note
You can right-click on wall to change its type or to delete it. You can also select to edit a wall or select to clear the inner walls and start over.
Repeat steps 2 - 4 for each area that you want to customize.
