Arch00006.pngCreating a Bubble Diagram

A bubble diagram is a graphical view of the data from a space planning spreadsheet. Spaces are connected by space links that represent the relationships among the spaces. Thick links indicate a strong relationship between the spaces, while weak relationships are drawn with thin lines. The efficiency of the bubble diagram layout can be determined by calculating its adjacency score.

A bubble diagram is inserted into a drawing automatically when an adjacency matrix is imported (see Importing an Adjacency Matrix Spreadsheet). A bubble diagram can also be created manually by linking spaces with the Space Link tool.
