📦 How to Add and Manage Obstructions

🔕 Step 1: Turn Off the Heatmap

• This helps you:

  • Clearly see the background image

  • Avoid recalculating the heatmap with every change

🧱 Step 2: Open Obstruction Tool

• Click on Obstruction Tool, or press O

• Choose from:

  • Buildings

  • Trees

  • RVs

  • Equipment

  • Cars

⚙️ Step 3: Define Obstruction Properties

For each obstruction type (e.g., building):

1. Choose a Material

2. Review its attenuation

3. Define:

   • Wall, Floor, and Roof Thickness

   • Associated Attenuation

4. Set the Height and Frequency

   • eino.ai automatically calculates attenuation for other frequencies

✏️ Step 4: Draw Obstructions

You have two tools:

• Rectangle Tool:

  • Click and drag to size and place

• Scribe Tool:

  • Free-draw any shape

  • Hold Shift to snap

  • Close the polygon to complete

🪄 Step 5: Modify & Duplicate Obstructions

While in Obstruction Mode:

• Select an obstruction

• Use:

  • Ctrl+C to Copy

  • Ctrl+V to Paste

  • Drag to Move

  • Rotate to adjust orientation

🗄️ Step 6: Add Equipment Obstructions

1. Select Equipment (e.g., Metal Rack)

2. Set its Type and Height

3. Place it using the rectangle or scribe tool

📦 Step 7: Add Shelving (Special Behavior)

1. Choose Shelving

2. Set its:

   • Height (e.g., 24 ft)

   • Attenuation across its width

3. Only rectangle shapes are allowed (to maintain consistent width-to-attenuation mapping)

4. eino.ai automatically applies attenuation for other materials

🧭 Step 8: View in 3D

• Switch to 3D View

• You'll see:

  • Shelves, Buildings, Equipment, etc.

  • All with accurate heights and shapes
