Model

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).

Step 2 – Measure the venue profile

See how to measure profile guide.

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. When ”custom” shape is selected, the corner Radius can be defined manually.
When Back Wall Height is set, additional plane is created after last measured target.
A Gap can be left between the floor and the profile, the Fill The Gap switch can be used to choose whether a plane is drawn in between or not.
Note

Back Wall can be used as ”ArrayProcessing Wall” or for overshooting purposes with autosplay feature.

Step 4 – Add venue elements, change the measurement mode or change file origin.

Measurement Mode

At the bottom of the page you can find the measurement mode button. This menu allows you to customize how the venue is measured.

Single Measure

In single mode the same profile is used for the whole arena 360°.

Dual Measure

 In dual measurement mode it is possible to measure separate End & Side profile. In this mode, corners are not drawn.

Asymmetric Measure

In asymmetrical mode all profiles can be measured separately.
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.

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.
