Settings#
Use Settings to define the model scope and analysis preferences.
Model Scope#
Choose whether analysis should use:
- The host Revit model only.
- The host model and included linked Revit models.
Include linked models when relevant rooms, constructions, or boundary surfaces are located in linked project files.
After changing model scope, review the room, occupancy, and surface-material setup before running analysis.
When Include Linked Models changes, return to Surface Materials so Acouso-ROOM can rescan the construction inventory for the new scope.
Reverberation Calculation Method#
Select the calculation method required for the analysis.
Available methods include:
- Sabine.
- Norris-Eyring.
- Millington-Sette.
- Acouso.
Use the method required by the project or acoustic assessment approach. The method selected affects the calculated reverberation result.
Display Units#
Choose the required display-unit preference:
- Auto.
- Metric.
- Imperial.
This changes how supported dimensions and quantities are displayed. It does not change the physical project geometry.
Room Boundary Settings#
Room boundary settings control how Acouso interprets room boundaries during analysis. The available options are:
- Coarse.
- Medium.
- Fine.
Coarse is the recommended default for a typical first analysis. Use Medium or Fine only when the model or required assessment calls for more detailed boundary handling.
Setup checklist#
Choose the host-only or linked-model scope, Sabine, Norris-Eyring, Millington-Sette, or Acouso calculation method, and Auto, Metric, or Imperial display units.
