The form of Spatial Objects
Spatial Objects are similar to CAD objects in that they can be drawn directly into a model and they have an ‘area’: a size and shape that you define when you draw and place an object into your model.
Certain Spatial Objects, namely Exits, Level Exits, Delay Points, Queue Groups, Focal Nodes, Escalators, Stairs and Waiting Zones need a ‘Focal Segment’ as well as an area.
Note: For Waiting Zones, the
Focal Segment is optional as you may require the zone to work purely as a
filter rather than a target.
The following illustration shows the area and Focal Segment of an Exit, along with other key elements.
