Create Hybrid Urban / Indoor (CNP) Pre-Processing Project

Hybrid urban/indoor pre-processing projects allow the prediction of outdoor transmitters inside buildings with consideration of the indoor walls and the urban buildings (transition urban to indoor) as well as the outdoor prediction of indoor transmitters with consideration of the indoor walls and the urban buildings (transition indoor to urban).

The prerequisite for the creation of a hybrid urban/indoor (CNP) pre-processing project is a .odb file that contains an urban database and at least one imported indoor database.

To create the project, select File > New Project from the menu. WallMan will ask for a .odb file that contains the database to be pre-processed. Select the file and click OK to close the dialog. WallMan now shows the database. Although this looks like the database edit mode it is not possible to change the database.

Table 1. Preprocessing icons.

The pre-processing parameters dialog can be opened via the button in the toolbar or via Preprocessing > Edit Preprocessing Parameters in the menu.

Start the pre-processing by clicking on the button in the toolbar or by selecting Preprocessing > Compute Current Project in the menu. WallMan will ask for a name for the project file before the pre-processing starts.
