As pointed out in general concepts, a site is a place where sensors are located. Every site has an assigned ID (site_id) that is used when integrating with Senfi.
Contents
Building, Block, Level
A site usually contain buildings, which may be composed of different building blocks. Each building block is in turned made up of levels. Hence a site in Senfi is organized into: building > block > level, or BBL in short.
Model Types
There are 2 types of models that are supported in Senfi.
- Bespoke model
- User-drawn model
Bespoke Model
A bespoke model is one which is prepared in a 3D modelling software like 3DS Max. Building/block/level information is already present in a bespoke model and these cannot be changed in the CMS.
User-drawn Model
A user-drawn model is one which is drawn by tracing on a map. Currently, you can only draw one outline in the user-drawn model. This will be used as the building footprint. You can specify the number of floors in this building and the system will generate a building model for you. You can modify the building, block and level of a user-drawn model.
Floorplan Calibration
It is strongly encouraged to have a floorplan associated with each level of a building/block. This makes it easy to locate things both in 3D as well as in 2D. Associating a floorplan with a level requires calibration. This process involves selecting a few corresponding points in the 3D building and the floorplan. This only needs to be done once when adding a floorplan, or when there are changes to the floorplan or 3D model.
