Creating rooms and getting work onto the walls
How to lay out exhibition rooms, connect them into a route, and place your works on the walls — without aligning anything to the millimetre.
Rooms are rectangles with dimensions
Every room has a width, depth and height in metres. Think in real dimensions: a room of 12 × 8 metres feels like a real exhibition hall to walk through, one of 4 × 3 metres like a small cabinet.
Rooms that are too low feel cramped. Below 3 metres an exhibition quickly starts to feel like a living room.
Doorways appear on their own
Push two rooms together so that their walls touch — Raumiva places the doorway automatically. There are no doors to position.
For the doorway to look right, neighbouring rooms should share the same height. With different heights the lintel above the lower room can disappear.
Works snap to the wall
As you place a work it jumps flush to the nearest wall, at eye level and facing into the room. You drag it roughly into position; the fine adjustment is done for you.
Furnishings
Besides works you can place furnishings: plinths, benches, rope barriers, spotlights, rugs and plants. They turn an empty cube into a room people are happy to linger in.
Use them sparingly. One bench in line of sight to the main work does more than five scattered objects competing with it.
Common questions
How many rooms can I create?
That depends on your plan, from one room on Starter upwards. The current limits are on the pricing page. Individual extra rooms can be booked without changing plan.
How do doors between rooms come about?
Automatically. As soon as two rooms meet along their walls, a doorway appears there. For a clean result, neighbouring rooms should share the same height.
