Invisible Items - How to get them back?
I opened a Vertex property sheet and checkmarked "Invisible". Afterwards the Vertex isn't rendered anymore, so far so good. But now I want the Vertex to appear again, but I can't pick it. How can I get it back?
There are a fistful of possibilities to solve this problem:
Invisible Items are still visible
I opened a Vertex property sheet and checkmarked "Invisible". The problem is, that the Vertex is rendered the same way like before, nothing changed. Is this a programming bug?
Only one checkmark can cause a behaviour like this. In the Options Window/Items Tab (Shortcut: F9) please change (LMB click) the column "Inv." (for invisible items) in the row "Vertices" from "Yes" to "No". This will cause all Vertices which are set invisible not to be rendered.
Displace not working?
I inserted a vertex P1 at (0,0,0), then I duplicated it and I chose for the displacement of the new P2 x=+3. It did not move, why?
EASE 3.0 Only: Make sure that Room Symmetry is turned off or (if it is turned on) that the Symmetry Axis is not at x=0, otherwise a displacement moving the Vertex off the axis (in x-direction) is not allowed.
What does the message "Non-Zero Surface Integral" mean and how do I solve this problem?
After the command Check Data has been invoked, EASE calculates the sum of all faces areas. This sum can be considered as a three-dimensional value because every area is added dependent on its orientation in the room. For example two parallel faces with equal areas looking at each other would give zero.
As a result the surface integral of a closed room must also equal zero with a little tolerance.
To solve this problem: In most cases there are two or more faces in the same location. Delete one of them.
Does a coat face change the RT of a room or can it only serve for presentation purposes (like edges)?
A coat face is a face that replaces (acoustically) the covered part of the face it is assigned to.
That means:
Slow Project Data Module
I have finished now a project with approximately 300 Faces and 40 Loudspeakers. But anytime I change something the Project Data Window takes several seconds up to a minute to update the view. Is this a bug?
No, propably not. There are two main reasons for the editing module slowing down that dramatically.
How to aim Loudspeakers?
I am confused about how to aim Loudspeakers. Which methods can I use and which is the best?
There are 4 basic methods how to aim Loudspeakers.
Reinstall Room symmetry
Q: After I completed my project on a symmetrical base I had to modify it again. I released the symmetry to allow the new data to be entered. As a result of the calculations I found it necessary to include some more symmetrical walls. So I reinstalled the symmetry. My problem is, all of the faces and other items seem to appear twice. Is this a program bug?
What is Ease Room?
Help on Ease Room - Edit Project Data / Case Data / Cluster Data
Ease Room is a module of EASE 4.0/3.0 that allows you to insert and modify buildings (eg. rooms, studios, stadiums), loudspeaker cases, loudspeaker clusters, furniture (like chairs, tables) and room parts (like columns, balconys, windows) in a wireframe view.
As a basic module of Ease it is used in many different ways:
How do I fix “Face Mismatch or Hole in Room”
After clicking Check Data [F5], or attempting to Save Project Data [F6], I receive the following message:
"Face Mismatch or Hole in Room.
Use Check Holes to get detailed information."
What does this mean and how do I solve this problem?
This is a sign that your room model has geometry problems, the so-called “holes”. Holes are the result of violating one or more conventions of EASE and they need to be fixed before you can go on and perform simulations.
