Represent Objects by colors based on "Floor use"

Represent Objects by colors based on "Floor use"

In CadnaA it is possible to represent different objects by colors depending on which soil area they belong to. One way to do this is as follows:

1) Define the "Lil-use areas" of the project:



In the example, 2 soil uses which have been defined: Mixed Area (Orange) i Living Area (Red).



2) Define a MEMO variable called "Use" and assign a value 1 to buildings within the Mixed Area and a value of 2 to buildings within the Living Area. To do this, select the Mixed Area perimeter first, click on the optionModify Object...and configure as follows:



PressOk okand configure as follows:



PressOk ok,Alland repeat the procedure but selecting the perimeter of Living Area and the fieldNew valueassign 2.

If you enter the MEMO section of any building (within the two floor uses defined) you should see the variable with its respective value:



(3) AddressOptions/Appearance, selectBuilding/Filling/Colorand selectUse formula for color.Inside the box write the following expression:

iif(MEMO_Use==1, rgb(255,0.0), iif(MEMO_Use==2, rgb(0,0,255), rgb(255,255)



The expression indicates that if Use = 1 (Mixed Area), the buildings will be red. If Usage = 2 (Living Area), buildings will be displayed in blue and if Usage has any other value the buildings will be displayed in white.

NOTE: Colors follow RGB encoding (Network, Green, Blue)
