3 To change the floor name, type the new name in the Floor Name box
(1 to 60 alphanumeric characters, with no tabs). Each floor name in a
building must be unique.
4 To change the ceiling attenuation or ceiling height values, select or type
the new values. For information, see "Modifying Floor Defaults" on
page 108.
5 Click Finish to save the changes and close the wizard.
3WXM uses RF attenuation information in the floor plan when
calculating how many MAPs you need and where to place them to
provide the wireless coverage required for the floor. The RF attenuation
information comes from the attenuation values associated with objects
on the floor plan that have been converted into RF obstacles. An RF
obstacle is an object that has an attenuation value associated with it.
You can add RF obstacles to a floor plan in the following ways:
Select the objects that will be RF obstacles and assign attenuation
values to them. This method is available for floor plans that are
imported from CAD drawings. (See "Converting Objects into RF
Obstacles" on page 129.)
