Drawing Intelligent Height Restricted Areas

When Intelligent Height Restrictions are added to your floorplan it allows the Inspect Floorplan tool to detect whether stands with a greater height are positioned within them or not.

Not only this but the stand heights are also exported to the exhibitor list spreadsheet along with any conflicts.

Note:

Please check in our Venue Downloads section that we do not already have a drawing with intelligence already available, or contact us because not all of the drawings we have are available for download yet.

Height Restrictions should only be made intelligent on Venue drawings which are inserted using the Insert Venue function and not your actual floorplan, however if you have inserted a venue drawing without using the Insert Venue function then please carry on.

Drawing Intelligent Height Restrictions

1

Zoom into the area where you need to add the intelligent height restriction.

2

Select the 'Draw Height Restriction' (top half of button) which is located on the VENUE ribbon.

3

The following box will now appear for you to type in the height, this should match the figure on your floorplan. Now click OK.

4

Now draw around the area so you end up with a highlighted area in Blue as shown below.

Tip: You can also use the Create Intelligent Height Restricted Area from a Polyline function if the areas that exist on your plan are made from polylines, this will speed up the process and save you drawing the areas manually.

The height restricted area is now intelligent! Any stands that overlap the Blue detection area will now be highlighted to you in the Inspect Floorplan tool.
