Room categorization lets you label, organize, and export individual rooms from a multi-room 3D model. This is particularly useful for lighting planners and other professionals who need to work with specific rooms in their target software.
How rooms are categorized depends on which version of the Metaroom Scan App was used:
- Metaroom Scan App version 3.0.0 or later: all rooms in the 3D model are automatically detected and visible in the Model Tree. Click on any room to rename it, assign a utilization type, add a note, or select it for quick export to Relux.
- Earlier versions (before 3.0.0): rooms are not automatically segmented. You can categorize them manually in the Metaroom Workspace using the steps below.
How do I create room categorization for Relux export?
Follow these steps to manually group and categorize rooms in the Metaroom Workspace:
- Open the Metaroom Workspace and select the scanned space from the Projects list.
- Click the Export button, select RELUX Desktop from the list of formats, and click Export. This activates the Relux Export Mode.
- Select the walls and objects that belong to the room you want to group:
- Click on individual room elements to select them — selected objects are highlighted in blue and listed in the right sidebar.
- To select multiple objects at once, hold SHIFT and drag the left mouse button over them.
- Once you have selected all the elements for the room, enter a name in the Group Name field (for example, “Bathroom”) and click Create New Group. The group will appear in the Model Tree.
- Repeat steps 3–4 for each room you want to categorize.
- To export a room, check the box next to its name in the Model Tree, name the Export in Name field, select level of export details, then click Relux Export in the right sidebar.
