Definite the Location of Room and Corridor Doors 
Definite the Location of Room and Corridor Doors
Use
You always use coordinates to specify the location of a door in relation to the corridor and not the complete care unit. All coordinates must be positive integers.
Prerequisites
The width of a door is predefined in the system as one meter. You specify the location of a door as a point in relation to the lower left corner of the corridor.
The maintenance of the coordinates differs depending on whether you want to specify the location of room doors or corridor doors.
Features
Location of Room Doors
To define a door between a room and a corridor, you specify the point in the corridor where the door is located in relation to the coordinate system defined by the corridor. The system displays a one meter wide door at this point in the care unit overview graphic.
The illustration shows a corridor of width 10 (x-axis) and length 3 (y-axis) with adjoining rooms. The room doors have the following coordinates:
Room Door Coordinates
Door Between Corridor and |
Point (x,y) |
Room R1 |
(3,3) |
Room R2 |
(7,3) |
Room R3 |
(10,0) |
Room R4 |
(8,0) |
Room R5 |
(4,0) |
Room R6 |
(0,0) |
The room door specified by point (0,0) could also be the door of a room at the end wall of the corridor. Since you always define room doors in relation to the corridor and the room, it depends on the location of the room whether a door defined by the point (0,0) results in an opening along the x-axis or the y-axis.
Location of Corridor Doors
Corridor doors always extend across the complete width or length of a corridor. In the case of rectangular corridors, it depends on the alignment of the corridor in the coordinate system whether it is expedient to define vertical or horizontal doors.
The following illustrations show examples of aligning rectangular corridors.
For corridor 1, it is practical to define vertical doors.
For corridor 2, it is practical to define horizontal doors.
To define vertical doors for a corridor, specify a point on the x-axis, for example (1,0), (2,0), (3,0).
To define horizontal doors for a corridor, specify a point on the y-axis, for example (0,0), (0,1), (0,2), (0,3).
Note that the point (0,0) defines a horizontal door. A special rule applies for vertical doors at the origin. To define a vertical door at the origin, you must specify the coordinates that determine the dimensions of the corridor. You specified these in the master data of the corridor. In the coordinate system, this is the point in the upper right corner of the corridor.
