Creating the room for a basic event

The first step of basic event design is usually creating the event room. Based on a simple 2D shape, the room and floor slab are created automatically according to specified parameters.

1. Create a closed 2D object (such as a rectangle, polyline, or polygon) to represent the room. The dimensions of the object should match the interior dimensions of the room to be created.

The Create Room dialog box opens. Specify the properties and attributes of the walls and the floor slab.
