 I&amp;#39;m trying to use my own AutoCAD floor plan in Energy Simulator and I have some questions. 
 Is there a document which has hints/tips for how to formulate an AutoCAD floor plan so it integrates well/correctly with OBD Energy Simulator</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 12</generator><item><title>RE: Standards for AutoCAD drawings for Floorplans, Define a room function</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/689871?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 04 Jan 2022 12:28:51 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:3d3ce475-a199-42a8-9ffa-f546feaee997</guid><dc:creator>Shane Regan</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi John,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The software will take care of this for you, as it automatically changes external walls to partitions if there is an adjacent room within the distance set in your Adjacent Tolerance setting, as below:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="/products/building/building_analysis___design/w/building_analysis_and_design__wiki/52272/adjacent-tolerance-setting"&gt;Adjacent Tolerance setting - Bentley Communities&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also in&amp;nbsp;relation to guidance on creating new floors/defining rooms; you can find details&amp;nbsp;of&amp;nbsp;the associated settings in the following sections of the Energy Simulator manuals:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://docs.bentley.com/LiveContent/web/OpenBuildings%20Designer%20Help-v4/en/ToolNewFloor.html"&gt;New Floor&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://docs.bentley.com/LiveContent/web/OpenBuildings%20Designer%20Help-v4/en/ToolDefineRoom.html"&gt;Define Room&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hope that helps, if you need anything else just let us know.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
