The arena measurement model is made for typical sport arena (or stadium) applications. You can easily measure a symmetrical or asymmetrical venue and add elements such as a stage or jumbotron to it.
Measure
Step 1 – Measure the venue floor
Set floor dimensions (Length & Width)
Listener Height for audience can be set. (Not all output formats support this).
The audience Listening Height can be set. (Not all output formats support this)
Step 3 – Modify the parameters if needed
The shape of the arena can be set. For the Floor Shape there are three predefined options to choose from and also the option to measure the turning radius manually.
Also the Corner Shape can be selected from three predefined options. When Follow Floor option is selected, the corner front shape will always follow the shape of the floor.
The Resolution at which the corners are drawn can be modified. By default, corners are drawn from four pieces, a higher resolution will result smoother shape, but slower performance in many prediction softwares.
When Back Wall Height is set, additional plane is created after last measured target.
Spacing can be left between the floor and the profile. ”Fill the gap” parameter can be used to choose whether a plane is drawn in between or not. This feature can be used, for example, to model a running track. The value is added to the floor, so the profile moves the same amount, but the size of either element does not change.
Note
Back Wall can be used as ”ArrayProcessing Wall” or for overshooting purposes with autosplay feature.
At the bottom of the page you can find the measurement mode button. This opens a menu where it is possible to modify the way the venue is measured. By default, the user interface and measurement workflow are kept simple, but here you can take it further.
Single Measure (Symmetric)
By default, the profile measurement is set to a single mode, which means that the profile of the raked seating is symmetrical so only one profile measurement is taken, which is then used around the arena.
Multi Measure (Asymmetric)
The multi measure option can be used for asymmetric arenas where a separate profile can be measured for each side of the arena.
Choose which profile to use for which side of the venue. The selected number of profile appears on the Edit page.
Check out the tutorial video for instructions.
Manual Width
By default, the width of the profile is calculated automatically from the floor shape, but it can also be set manually. It is also possible to set the front and back widths separately.
When you activate the function, separate width fields for each profile appear on the measurement page.
Origin
File Origin
At the bottom of the page you can find the origin menu button.
In the Arena model, the origin of the file is by default the center of the floor. This can be changed anytime.
The origin of the file can be moved relative to the center of the floor using, for example, a custom value.
In addition, there is an option to use a calculator that works in such a way that you go to the point where you want the origin. Measure the distance from that point to the selected reference point and the calculator moves the origin to the measurement point.
