Spaces-Module (Muigg Spaces)

The Spaces Module is a powerful application for creating, labeling, and managing rooms and room groups. Complete room schedules with sketches can be automatically exported to Excel.

There are two versions of the Area Module available, which can be used depending on your working method:

Users who work with AutoCAD / ACADMAP technology use the AutoCAD version; for users who work with ACA object technology, there is the ACA version (e.g. with automatic recognition of rooms from ACA wall objects). The decisive factor in the distinction is the working method, not the platform used, i.e. a user who works with ACA can also use the AutoCAD version.

Rooms are created either using polylines or from wall objects and marked with a “room stamp”; the type of use of the room and the floor covering are specified or selected. Rooms with the same use can be represented as such by means of an adjustable area fill.

The room areas can be divided into comprehensible, calculable sub-areas, with the area division being automatically updated when the geometry changes. An option can be set to calculate the area as the sum of the rounded sub-areas. This prevents differences in decimal places when adding up the rounded sub-areas compared to the exact calculation of the area using the polygon.
All area information from the CAD drawing can be exported to an Excel spreadsheet: with overview sketches and as a “cross table” with rooms and area totals broken down by type of use.
Furthermore, rooms can be grouped together (e.g., apartments) and these in turn can be grouped into floors, wings, buildings, projects, etc. The area values are automatically added up. The result is shown in the table next to it.

The main functions of the MUIGG SPACES area module are:

  • Automatic room recognition from walls and deduction areas *)
  • Room geometry can be formed from polylines, splines, circles, and ellipses **)
  • Automatic labeling of rooms for any number of scales
  • Room stamps can be easily customized
  • Multi-view blocks are used as room stamps *)
  • Different positions of the labeling in different scales
  • Automatic recognition of deduction areas *)
  • Area usage can be displayed using hatching (and solids)
  • Any number of sub-areas and types of use per room
  • Area factors can be defined for different uses for easy calculation of the living space
  • Traceable area calculation with display in the floor plan
  • Rooms can be grouped together (e.g., rooms into apartments)
  • Groups can be combined into groups (e.g., apartments into floors)
  • Graphical representation of the group hierarchy
  • Automatic generation of room book numbers by assigning them to a group
  • Graphical display of duplicate room book numbers with automatic conflict resolution
  • Simultaneous creation and editing of multiple rooms
  • A default room type and default flooring are automatically set for each room designation
  • Import of room designations, floor coverings, and usage types from other drawings
  • Freely configurable Excel output with overview sketch and traceable area breakdown upon request
  • Creation of a cross table in Excel with totals for the individual usage types

*) Only relevant for the ACA version **) Only relevant for the AutoCAD version

For special applications, there are two further developments of the area module: Inventory Area Manager (developed for METRO AG) and FM Building Manager (developed for the Federal Real Estate Company BIG).

MUIGG SPACES runs on AutoCAD as well as on AutoCAD Architecture.
