Workspace Room Graphic Generator

The graphics generator generates room mapping graphics in lieu of the existing room templates. The pages are generated based on existing rooms and room segments that are available on the Desigo automation station and set up on standard applications. For RC-specific applications, the corresponding room mapping graphics and associated functions must be available prior to generation.

Additional instructions are available in section Step-by-step.
