Add acoustic conditioning solutions to enclosures

InSONArchitect, absorbent material can be added to walls, floors and ceilings of any enclosure. To do this, the following steps must be followed:
  1. Once inside the project and having drawn the outline of the building/retire under study, it should be clicked on the "Assign/View Materials" button.
  2. Select a database containing absorption materials. For example, "SONArchitect Database"


  1. Within the item type, select "Absorption":


  1. Then select the absorption element subtype:


  1. Select an absorption item from the list, select the item from the plane where you want to incorporate, press left mouse button on it, and press "Assign Material":
