What is a Site
A Site represents a place whereby sensors are physically located. A Site usually comprise of one or more buildings. A Site in Senfi has a geographical location and a 3D representation.
3D Representation
Users may choose to use bespoke model or user drawn model as the 3D representation of the Site.
Bespoke Model
Users can upload a bespoke model - 3D building modelled using modelling software such as Autodesk 3DS Max, Revit etc.
Advantages of using a bespoke model:
- This allows for Users to repurpose their existing BIM models as a source for the Digital Twin.
- Operators viewing the Digital Twin will get a true representation of the building's space, allowing them to get oriented easily.
User-drawn Model
Users who do not own a bespoke model may choose to use the CMS to trace out the building outline and generate a quick 3D building.
Advantages of using a user-drawn model:
- Fast to generate
- Cost saving
2D Floor plan

Building/Blocks/Levels (BBL)
site_id is a unique integer associated with a particular Site. It is auto generated when the Site is created, and it is passed in as a parameter in integration to identify the Site.
