Venues, spaces & airwalls

0:03Now the part that makes EventDiagram different from every other diagramming tool. Event spaces.

0:09Under Venues you'll find your property and its spaces, with the dimensions that actually matter.

0:15The Grand Ballroom is a hundred and fifty feet by ninety, with a twenty-four foot ceiling. Those are the real numbers, and everything downstream is computed from them.

0:24And it has airwalls — the movable partitions that split it into sections A, B, C and D.

0:31Here's what most tools make you do with that. Upload a floor plan for A. Upload another for A through B. Another for A through C. Every combination, drawn again, by hand, forever.

0:43EventDiagram draws the ballroom once. The sections are just data on top of it. So every combination already exists.

0:50Three spaces became twelve floor plans. Grand Ballroom A. A through B. A through C. B through D. None of them drawn twice.

1:01Every one is a real space with real dimensions and real square footage, ready to lay out. A through C is a hundred and twelve and a half feet wide — ten thousand square feet.

1:12When the walls move, the area, the section labels and the capacity all recompute together. You never maintain twelve drawings of one ballroom again.

1:22That's the foundation. Spaces are real, airwalls are data, and a diagram is a layout inside one of them. Now let's build one.
