Figure 63. Changing Location Properties – Dimensions Tab

Specify the following dimensions and properties:

Unit: Select the unit of measurement from the drop‐down list.

Length in ‘a’ direction: Specify the length to be used for all layouts in the plan.

Length in ‘b’ direction: Specify the width to be used for all layouts in the plan.

Lock Aspect Ratio: Select the Lock Aspect Ratio checkbox, if you want to maintain the ratio of the dimensions of the layout to that of the layout image.

RF Calculation Cell Size: Specify the RF calculation cell size to determine the size of the smallest unit on the layout. Planner performs calculations for each cell on the layout.

Reset Cell Size: Click to get optimal cell size number for the layout dimensions entered.

Ceiling Loss: Specify the loss occurring for the cross floor radiation due to the ceiling. The range is ‐50 to 0.

Region: Select the region from the drop‐down list.

Note: Changing the length and width of the plan resizes the entire set of objects in the layout model. Planner resizes the objects in the same proportion in which the size of the plan is changed. Changing these units will affect the dimension values and coverage.

During resize, if there are any objects like Polygons or Area Polygons placed on the floor map, Planner deletes these objects, as it cannot resize them.

These changes affect all the layouts in the plan. In case you want to plan multiple floors with different dimensions, enter the largest floor dimensions and then plan for smaller areas for each floor.

Location Properties: Calculations Tab

The Calculations tab allows you can specify the calculations’ settings and path loss model settings. You can also invoke this screen by clicking from the Toolbar.
