Use cases, 04

Start from the venue, not a blank page.

Four project templates open a villa, a restaurant, a retail unit or an office already laid out and calculated. Fourteen venue presets set up each room you add. Every value on these pages is the tool’s own starting point, and every one can be changed.

project templates, 04

Four templates, each one a working project.

In the template chooser’s own words: “A complete live starting point: areas, speakers laid out by the advisor, Wi-Fi and CCTV, already calculated.”

how a template starts

One click, and the design is already calculated.

  1. Step 01

    Choose it

    Project menu → New from template, or Start from a template on an empty plan. The Get started window lists the four as well.

  2. Step 02

    It lays itself out

    Every area at its size, in-ceiling speakers laid out by the Coverage Advisor, and the access points and cameras in the largest areas.

  3. Step 03

    It calculates

    The heatmaps, the results, the Wi-Fi and CCTV maps and the bill of materials are ready the moment it opens.

  4. Step 04

    You make it yours

    It is a new project, named after the template. Import the real plan, change any value and swap any model.

venue presets, 14

Fourteen presets for the rooms you add.

Pick a venue preset when you add an area, and it fills in the target, RT60, noise floor and spacing, then places the recommended speaker and any subwoofer. Every value stays editable.

no template for your venue?

A gym, a club or a sports bar starts from a blank plan.

Draw or import the plan, then give each area the preset that fits. These three sit at the loud end of the list, each with its own speaker and subwoofer.

questions

About templates and presets.

Can I change the values a template sets?

Yes. Every area’s size, ceiling, ear height, RT60 and target can be edited, and every device moved or swapped. A template is a starting point, not a recommendation for your site.

Do the templates include video and control?

No. They place speakers, access points and cameras. Add displays per area in the video designer and devices in the control designer, then run their auto-design.

Is there a template for a hotel or a gym?

Not as a template. Start a blank project and give each area a venue preset: Gym / fitness, Small club and Sports bar are among the fourteen.

Do the templates cover several floors?

Each template is one floor of areas. Add floors in the Project explorer, each with its own plan, areas and devices.

Where do I find the templates?

In the Project menu, under New from template, and on an empty plan as Start from a template. Each opens as a new project named after it, such as Villa demo.

Open the template that matches your next job.
