Understand the principles of room modeling and definition of surface proporties. Step through the demos of; Extrusion modelling, parametric modelling, CAD import, material assignation, verification and adjustment of room models and geometry debugging. If you use Google SketchUp get SU2Odeon.
Odeon features for room modelling
| Features |
Benefits |
| Import & adjustment of room models from .dxf or .3ds format |
Possibility to use the digital models created by architects or others. Advanced automatic tools for improving models during import. Adjustment of model to wanted coordinatesystem or part of larger geometry. |
| Plugin for Google SketchUp |
Get SU2Odeon in order to import and manage SketchUp models in Odeon. layer import included as well as unique surface numbers. |
| Odeon extrusion modeller |
The Odeon extrusion modeller is a fast modelling tool to use if you primarily create room models for use in Odeon. You can attach a background drawing and create extrusions based on this. |
| Parametric modelling |
In the Odeon Editor you can use a parametric modelling language that can be usefull to know if you want to change things in existing models or combine two extrusion models. |
| Use of layers in models |
Facilitates the assignment of material properties to the relevant surfaces, particularly useful with large models. |
| Tools for verification and adjustment of room models |
Easy localisation of problems like overlapping surfaces or models with gaps and leaks. |
| Large library of materials with absorption coefficients |
Easy assignment of materials with absorption coefficients to the surfaces. |
| Unique colour code for absorption materials in OpenGL display |
Look into the 3D model and see where the absorption materials are located. |
