Arch00006.pngInserting an Adjacency Matrix

An adjacency matrix diagram can also be created manually with the Adjacency Matrix tool, based on spaces and space relationships currently in the file.

To insert an adjacency matrix diagram:

1. Click the Adjacency Matrix tool from the Space Planning tool set.

2. Click at the desired location for the adjacency matrix.

3. Click again to set the matrix rotation. If this is the first time an adjacency matrix diagram is placed on the drawing, the object properties dialog box opens. Specify the default preferences, which apply to all adjacency matrix diagrams placed subsequently in this drawing. Properties can be edited later in the Object Info palette. Click OK.

The adjacency matrix is created. If no space objects currently exist in the drawing, an adjacency matrix place holder is created.

The adjacency matrix is more than just a presentation graphic, because it dynamically shows what is in the drawing. The adjacency matrix updates automatically when spaces or space links change.

The Rotation, Height Scale and Width Scale parameters of an adjacency matrix can be edited in the Object Info palette.

To adjust the order of adjacency matrix spaces, change the Matrix Order number in the Object Info palette for the relevant space object.
