Arch00004.pngCreating an adjacency matrix

Adjacency matrices specify, in tabular format, the spaces and area requirements that must be incorporated into a design. In addition, the relationships among the various spaces are identified. Spaces which should be located next to each other are strongly related, while spaces which can or should be separated have a weak relationship.

An adjacency matrix is typically developed in a spreadsheet program and imported into a Vectorworks file. An adjacency matrix can also be created in a worksheet in a Vectorworks file, exported as a tab-delimited file, and then imported back into a Vectorworks file to create an adjacency matrix.
