7 GIZA Overview Welcome to the GIZA Design and Specification training course. This course is designed to fit the needs of space planners, sales people, facility managers, and designers. Through hands on training, you will develop furniture quotations, budget proposals, orders, and other documents used in the design, sales, specification, and management of systems furniture. We will provide the detail assistance necessary for you to increase your production and give you a solid base for learning advanced features and techniques. We encourage you to ask questions. We have provided a well-trained staff available to answer your specific application questions. All students should have a basic familiarity with the concepts and practices of modern business office design and product knowledge. GIZA Design Basic GIZA Design Basic is the ideal tool for sales people. Some of the features include Icon Menus to aid product selection for particular product lines. The Panel Placer tool allows for accurate panel placement. Auto Hardware is included for some product lines that automatically place panel connectors. Panel Checker alerts you when overlapping panels occurs to aid you in determining proper panel placement. Frame Designer allows you to build frames up with skins when available. Products brought into the drawing area are brought in on layers that allow for easy viewing and editing. You have the ability to place parts or typicals in a grid configuration easily. Multiple views can be generated including 2D, 3D, hidden line and 3D color views. Parts lists can be exported to Specifier, Microsoft Excel or Word. The media menu allows access to a catalog of typical workstations that can be placed for ease of presentation. GIZA Design Enhanced GIZA Design Enhanced includes all Basic features plus the ability to share AutoCAD drawings. It is the most popular drafting tool for both sales and design professionals. Enhanced allows you to work smoothly with designers and architects who use AutoCAD by importing and exporting to.dwg and.dxf format. The software also aids by creating smart 3D architecture that will help to create walls, windows, doors, and columns. Three-dimensional renderings generate realistic shadows. Perspective cameras let you control the viewpoint to get realistic previews and print outs. A Bill of Material reports allows for a parts list and base pricing to gain a quick estimate. Enhanced also has an inventory function that can compare two drawings to determine what can be reused. GIZA Design Professional GIZA Design Professional is for the most demanding users who need to modify standard catalog items and generate high-end presentations. This includes the ability to generate photo-realistic 3D renderings with real-world lighting, shadows, and reflections for clients giving the ability to close sales quickly. Professional also allows you to create custom items by stretch, rename, and specify items to meet exact client requirements. It includes GIZA Publisher, which gives you the ability to print full-color presentations and marketing materials using built-in templates GIZA GIZA Overview 1

8 GIZA Specifier GIZA Specifier can be combined with the graphic portion of the GIZA software or act as a standalone product. The program provides an easy to use spreadsheet to build and specify product for ordering. The software allows for simplified discounting and margin calculations, preformatted reports, orders, and quotations as well as the ability to customize these reports. Specifier also has the ability to export projects to back of house accounting packages created for the office furniture industry. GIZA s product libraries also include the available finishes and upcharges for each product specified. 2 GIZA Overview GIZA

26 20 Draw Walls GIZA

27 Draw Walls GIZA Enhanced and Professional allow you to generate 3D walls, windows, and doors. These walls allow you to generate the exterior shell of buildings or areas within buildings. Walls that are generated using the Draw > Wall tools consist of two lines that act as a unit in plan view. When generated in a 3D view these walls have thickness as well as height. Editing features allow existing walls to be moved and changed to represent changes to the floor plan. Windows, openings and doors can be added and placed in the structure. Draw > Walls also allows for floor plans to be dimensioned for placement of furniture and additional information. Getting Started 1. From the Draw pull down, left click on Walls or the Walls icon. 2. The Walls menu opens along the left side of the screen. Walls Basics 1. From the Draw Walls Icon Menu, make sure that the Walls tab is selected. 2. The top row of icons on the Walls Icon Menu is used to create walls. The top left icon draws continuous (or running) walls. The top right icon draws a single wall only. On the Drawing Tool Bar, usually located just above the left-hand icon menu, turn on XY and Ruler by left clicking in the white boxes in front of them. The XY forces the walls to draw orthogonally (straight right, left, up or down), and the ruler allows you to draw walls to an exact length. On the Walls Tool Bar, usually just to the right of the Drawing toolbar, you can change the wall settings such as height, width and justification. The Height and Width of the walls can be project specific. Wall Justification determines how walls are created based on the dimensions that are given. Right justification places a second line the width of the wall to the left if you were standing on the line being drawn. Left justification places a second line the width of the wall to the right if you were standing on the line being drawn. Center justification places a line half the width of the wall on either side of where you are standing GIZA Draw Walls 21

28 Running Walls 1. Left click on the Running Walls icon on the Walls Icon menu. 2. Choose a starting point at the bottom left hand side of the drawing window. 3. Move the cursor up (a couple of inches is fine). A preview of your wall will appear. 4. Hold down the left mouse button until the Input dialog box appears. This allows for entry of an exact distance. The Ruler must be checked for Input to work correctly. 5. Type in the length of the wall (or use the increment arrows: the left arrow is for feet, right is for inches), and left click OK. You can type in decimals or fractions. Be sure to use the foot ( ) and inch ( ) marks. If the distance is in feet you do not need to use the foot mark. GIZA defaults to feet unless told otherwise. If using fractions, be sure to put a space between the whole inch unit and the fraction. 6. The cursor is still attached to the end of the first wall. Move the cursor to the right and again hold down the left mouse button to open the Input dialog. 7. Continue drawing walls in this manner until a room perimeter is complete. 8. If you make a mistake, use the Undo button just to the right of the Stop sign to remove the wall. Left click on the Running Wall icon again and right click near the end of a wall to snap and reconnect the wall cursor. 22 Draw Walls GIZA

29 Note: Right clicking allows items to snap together. This means that they are touching or connected. This allows you to accurately place walls as well as furniture. Drawing walls on an angle 1. Choose the Running Wall Button. 2. Select a starting point near the center of your drawing area. 3. On the Drawing tool bar, there is a compass to the right of the ruler check box. Select this icon and a dialog box referencing a Work Angle is shown. Note: XY must be checked for work angle to function. XY & Ruler must be checked to use the work angle in conjunction with the Input dialog. 4. Change the Work Angle to be 45. Then choose OK. 5. Drag the mouse up and to the left, then left click and hold to enter a distance of The distance will be along the 45- degree angle. Note: This allows you to continue drawing walls at a consistent 90 degrees to each other; but it is very important that this be used as a toggle to draw items at the appropriate angle. 6. When you are finished drawing angled walls turn off the Work Angle icon GIZA Draw Walls 23

32 Placing Interior Walls Now that the exterior of the building is designed or drawn, specific interior walls need to be placed for the interior offices. 1. Select Single Wall from the Walls icon menu. 2. Choose the Point Input button from the second row of toolbars. 3. From the Point dialog box determine where you would like to place the single wall. In this case we want a 12-6 interior dimension to the offices that we are going to create. We want to go to the left so we need to verify that the arrow is pointing to the left and the value is entered in the white box on the left side of the arrow. The From Fixed Point box needs to be checked. This will allow us to indicate from what fixed point we want to affect the distance of When the values are entered left click on Enter Point. 4. Bring your crosshairs to the inside corner of the bottom right hand side of your floor plan and right click. This will pick the exact point where the two walls join end to end. Note: If you need to use a different justification to place the wall correctly, make the change to the Walls Tool Bar before beginning the wall command. 5. Your ruler will appear connected to the wall 12 6 from the corner. Pull the crosshairs up until the crosshairs are in-between the two lines of the top horizontal wall and left click. 6. Add a second horizontal wall that is 25 from the bottom wall of the building using point input. Right Click on This Point 26 Draw Walls GIZA

84 Layers GIZA Design allows you to organize your drawing into multiple overlapping layers. The use of layers makes it easy to control the display and printing of elements, and can help prevent accidental modification. When you turn a layer On, the layer displays in your drawing. If you turn a layer Off, it does not appear in your drawing. This allows you to view different aspects of your drawing without certain elements. If you set a layer to Background, it appears in your drawing, but may not be edited, and Search allows a layer to appear in the drawing and in searches, but not for editing. 1. Left click the word main in the upper left corner of the drawing window to access the Layer Setup dialog. 2. Click on the main layer on the right; all the sub-layers are highlighted. 3. To turn off all the layers except the panels left click the Off button in the center of the Layers Setup dialog. This turns off all the sub-layers selected. 4. Left click on the sub-layer called gn-panel to highlight just that layer. 5. Left click the On button in the center of the Layers Setup dialog to turn that single sub-layer on. 6. Left click OK. 7. To turn the layers back on, follow the first three steps above, but left click the On button rather than the Off button. Display Mode The display area on the left of the dialog box shows all the layers in the drawing, and highlights the sub-layers of the layer currently selected on the right. These sub-layers are automatically created when items are placed in the layer. For instance, if you have drawn walls and placed a panel with main selected as your work layer, walls appears as a sub-layer. If you are using the Generic furniture library, for example, the panel appears on a gn-panel sub-layer. The blue check box next to each layer is checked whenever the layer is selected, and reads On, Off, Search or Back, depending on what option you have selected. The default is On. To change the display mode of a layer, highlight it and click the button representing the desired display mode. On - Turns the selected layers or sub-layers on for search, edit and display. Off - Turns the selected layers or sub-layers off for search, edit and display. 78 Furniture GIZA

85 Search - Turns the selected layers or sub-layers on for search and display, but not edit. Back - Turns the selected layers or sub-layers on for background display only. They are not available for searches or edits. Delete - Removes a sub-layer from the drawing. This does not remove the layer itself. To remove a layer, use Delete from the Layer Selection section of this dialog box. Override - Overrides the pen or color of a sub-layer. Note: It is a good idea to go into layers and turn the walls layer to Search before starting to place furniture. This allows you to edit the furniture without accidentally moving a wall. Follow the steps above, but left click Search rather than Off. The walls will still show on screen GIZA Furniture 79

86 Existing and New Furniture Using Pen Override In this example, we will create a drawing for an existing customer who is expanding and adding new workstations to their current configuration.

123 Saving a Project It is of the utmost importance that you correctly save a specification after importing from the graphic portion of the software. In order to do this you must: 1. Left click on the File pull down and select Save As. 2. Enter the desired file name. 3. Left click Save. These steps must be taken in order to create and store a project file that will be accessible in the future. Once these steps have been completed, subsequent saves of the project can be accomplished using the File > Save pulldown. Deleting Line Items When you do not want a line item in GIZA Specifier, you have to delete the line item. 1. Between the S column(line item numbers) and Product column(part numbers) is a column marked D. 2. To mark a line item for deletion, simply left click the gray box in the D column next to that line item. 3. The Product Code for that line item highlights in red. This means the item is marked for deletion. 4. To unmark the line item, left click the gray box in the D column again. 5. To delete the line item, the Purge command needs to be run. On the tool bar, left click the Purge Project icon. This appears as a white sheet of paper with a red X. You may also left click on the menu Modify > Purge. 6. A dialog opens asking if you want to remove items marked for deletion. If you are sure, left click Yes and all items marked for deletion will be removed from the project. If unsure, left click No and nothing will be deleted. Note: It is very important to be aware that there is no Undo in Specifier.

169 Lightscape Getting Started To prepare for your Lightscape rendering, open the desired drawing in GIZA. Maximize the 3D Drawing Window, and set the view to be the same as what you would like the Lightscape rendering to be. The Lightscape rendering will match the view you have selected in the 3D window. 1. Left click the Lightscape button on the toolbar to begin. Choosing A Background Scene The Lightscape Interface uses a preparation file (.LP) to create a background scene (room) for your rendering. To select a Background Scene within the Lightscape Visualization Module Interface left click Browse. ROOM1 contains suspended ceiling lights, ambient lighting, flooring, and walls. This is the easiest of all scenes to work with due to the fact that all elements of a room have been predetermined. FLR_ONLY contains only flooring and ambient lighting. Hide_lts is the same as ROOM1 but it does not show the suspended ceiling lights. Empty does not contain any elements of a room. However, because of this it allows you the most flexibility of the final rendering. You will need to add your own lighting scheme into the drawing to use this room. Lighting is available from the GIZA Generic Icon Library. Setting the Processing Limits The lights in your Lightscape scene bounce off other objects in the scene, which produces reflective light. This process can continue indefinitely, as long as there are more surfaces to bounce light. The Number of Minutes and the Number of Iterations control the amount of time GIZA spends processing the final image or the number of iterations it completes for your rendering. By setting the two types of processing limits, you can determine whether you want a more complex, high-quality Lightscape Interface rendering, or a simplified rendering, which may be produced quickly GIZA Advanced GIZA Design Topics 163

170 1. Enter the maximum Number of Minutes you would like GIZA to spend processing the lighting calculations. A higher number of minutes will produce a higher quality image. These are simulated minutes, so if you enter 500 minutes, it will not take 500 minutes to process the image. 2. Enter the maximum Number of Iterations you would like to process in your rendering. Each iteration calculates a portion of the light on each surface. More iterations produce a more realistic rendering. Different drawings will take different amounts of time to complete the rendering due to the varying complexities. If the Lightscape rendering is taking too long to complete the rendering, you may deem it necessary to sacrifice some of the quality for a quicker rendering by lowering the Number of Minutes and Number of Iterations. Adjusting the Brightness You may find that the lighting in your rendering is either too bright or too dark. By adjusting the Brightness parameters you are allowed complete control over the lighting in your rendering. Ambient Light affects the brightness of surfaces that are in shadows. This lighting does not come from a direct light source, such as task lights, ceiling lights, or torch lamps. It usually comes from reflected light or the sun. Brightness refers to the lighting from a direct light source, such as task lights, ceiling lights, and torch lamps. Rendering Size You have two choices for the overall size of your Lightscape rendering. You may have the rendering fill the entire window, or you may choose to have a custom size for your rendering. Window will render the drawing, filling the entire window. Custom will allow you to create a custom size for your rendering. This is useful if you wish to scale down the rendering to create an image file for use in a GIZA Publisher document, a GIZA Slide presentation, or for export to another software program. It is recommended to keep the Maintain Proportions box checked to minimize the distortion of the rendering in the custom window. 164 Advanced GIZA Design Topics GIZA

171 Geometry Options The Geometry Options allow you to control how the items in your drawing (the geometry ) appear in relation to the background scene. Check Center Geometry in Background Scene to have the items (furniture) in your rendering centered in the background scene. This box should be checked for the best appearance of your rendering. Check Extract Selected Geometry only if you decided to create your rendering using only the highlighted items in the 3D Drawing window. Only the items highlighted are then rendered. Checking this box does not disable the Center Geometry in Background Scene feature, which should still be checked. Counting the Faces Faces are the surfaces in your drawing that compose the furniture. The more surfaces present, the longer it takes to calculate an image. The number of faces can give you an idea of what processing limits to set for your Lightscape Interface rendering. 1. To calculate the number of Faces in the drawing left click on the Count Faces button. Note: You may expect 2-3 thousand faces in a simple GIZA drawing, for example, of a workstation with accessories. If more than 3,000 faces are present, you may want to adjust the processing limit on your drawing, or it may be very time-consuming. Material Assignments By adding Material Assignments to your drawing, you have the ability to add your own fabrics and colors for a truly accurate and realistic rendering of your space plan. Many manufacturers have fabrics available on their website that you may download and use to create a user texture to be applied to the drawing. To open the Material Assignments dialog box from within the Lightscape dialog box, simply left click on the Material Assignments button. Processing the Image When you have set up your rendering to your satisfaction, left click the Process Image button on the Lightscape dialog box. The Processing Lightscape Image dialog box will appear on screen, informing you of the progress of the rendering. In a short time, a photo realistic Lightscape rendering will appear. You may print this image or save it for use in a GIZA Publisher document, a GIZA Slide presentation, or for exporting to another software application. You may also view the image file in the GIZA program GIZA Advanced GIZA Design Topics 165

193 Option Sets An option set stores your preferences for options in a project. While an option set may only contain preferences for some options in a library, a single option set can contain your preferences for multiple libraries. Each option set coordinates options for groups of items in a project and enables efficient assignment of options to items in a project. You may use multiple option sets in a project to coordinate options for different groups of items in your project. Projects can share option sets. An option set defined in a project may be used in other projects too. Using Option Sets GIZA Specifier applies your option preferences from an option set while adding items, importing items, modifying items, or updating items. Option set interaction with items is controlled by Option Interaction Modes. The option interaction mode is defined in the Option Interaction dialog, accessed in the Setups>Interaction Modes pulldown. While adding or importing items, the option set defined in defaults is used; while modifying items or updating options, the option set assigned to each item is used. Option sets provide a powerful tool to perform a what-if analysis to review the total cost of a project using different options. Enhanced Option Descriptions Products in a library can share the same option group. For example, a worksurface and a panel may both have a Surface option group; however, option values available for both may be different. Since the display of the same option group in an option set may be confusing, GIZA Specifier generates a number that makes the option group unique. Some libraries may replace the number with a descriptive text to help identify the application of an option group. For example, an option group for panels may be enhanced to Surface for Panels from a bland Surface #1. Though the Enhanced Option names may be helpful while specifying options, you may not want to include them in your reports. GIZA Specifier provides control over including the enhanced descriptions during printing and display. Creating an option set You can create a new option set by: Starting with a blank option set. Saving an existing option set to a new name. Importing an option set from another project GIZA Advanced GIZA Specifier Topics 187

194 Blank Option Set 1. Select Modify>Option Sets from the pull down. 2. To begin a blank option set, type a new name for the option set - a blank option set for the current library will be displayed. 3. Determine whether this option set will be for every product in this library, for a specific customer or for just specific products in the library. If you would like it to only be for items within a current project put a check in front of in Project. 4. Choose all of the options for either the project or this library. 5. Left click on Save As. 6. Enter a description for the Option Set. 7. Left click Save. Create a new Option Set based on an existing Set You can use an existing option set to define a new one. The values defined for the old option set will be saved under the original name. 8. Open the option set you wish to use as a template by left clicking on the Index button. 9. Left click Save As. GIZA Specifier will display the Save Option Sets dialog box. 10. Enter a new Option set name and description. 11. Make any necessary changes to the new option set. 12. Left click on Save. To load option values from the current project to the current Option Set 1. Left click on the Modify>Option Sets. 2. Place a check in front of in Project in the option display area. All options from the current project are displayed. 3. Load from Project is then added to the option display area. Left click Load from Project to add all option values specified in the project to the current option set. When line items are selected in the project, options only for the selected line items are displayed when you check in Project in the Option Sets dialog box. 188 Advanced GIZA Specifier Topics GIZA

195 4. When all items are specified left click on Save As and give the option set a name and a description. Importing Option Sets You can import option sets from another GIZA Specifier project. 1. Left click on the Modify>Option Sets. 2. Left click Import in the Project Option Sets dialog box. This displays the Open dialog box. 3. Left click to select the Specifier project from which you wish to import option sets. The Import Option Sets dialog box will be displayed. 4.

If an option set with the same name exists in the current project, you will be warned before it is overwritten. The Import Option Sets dialog box displays option sets only for the current library. Therefore, only option sets for the current library are imported. Applying Option Sets Now that the option sets have been created, the option set needs to be applied to the appropriate line items in the spreadsheet. Option sets are determined by the Option Set Column. 1. If the same option set is going to be applied to all line items in the current project you do not have to select the lines that you wish to apply the option set to. If you only want specific lines, select the lines that are to receive the option set, then left click on Modify>Global GIZA Advanced GIZA Specifier Topics 189

196 2. In the For column in the Option Set field left click on the empty bracket. This indicates that where this field is empty you will be specifying what to do. 3. In the Change To column, left click on the index card. All of the option sets that are loaded into this project will be listed. Choose the appropriate option set, from the drop down. 4. Left click Change. A message will appear that states X number of items were changed. 5. Left click on Close. Those items will now have information in the Option Set column and they will be fully optioned. 190 Advanced GIZA Specifier Topics GIZA

Installing Libraries to a Network Drive Some GIZA users choose to install their libraries on an available network drive rather than installing the libraries to the local machine. This is particularly helpful when you are low on drive space or you have to install numerous manufacturers libraries. Please be aware that there are 218 Appendix C GIZA

225 certain installation prerequisites, which must be met before attempting the install. You MUST have a mapped network drive from your machine to the server in order for this to work. Network neighborhood will NOT work as a substitute. If you are not familiar with mapping a network drive or do not have administrative network privileges, please have your network administrator perform this task. In addition, you do NOT need to have GIZA installed on the server in order to install the libraries. You are merely creating a folder to put the libraries into. Installing the Libraries: 1. Insert the CD-ROM that contains the manufacturers libraries. 2. Start the installation process. Note: it asks you to show the location of GIZA Specifier software. At this point, you will be creating the folder that Specifier libraries will install on the server. My network drive letter in this example is <h:\> I choose to call the folder speclibs. Hence, the path will be h:\speclibs. At this point, you have some poetic license. Keep in mind that you will need to identify it as a folder with Specifier libraries in it. It then asks the location of GIZA furniture layout software. I choose to call this folder graphiclibs. Here the location will be h:\graphiclibs. The folder(s) will be created for you upon installation. 3. Continue installing the libraries as you normally would. Keep in mind that they are going into a folder on your network and not into the GIZA program itself. Upon installation, you must set the path of the common libraries in GIZA and Specifier, to the mapped network drive containing the installed libraries. Setting the Path of Common Libraries At this point it becomes necessary to toggle the path of the common libraries in GIZA from the *default location to that of your network libraries. *The GIZA default value is the same root directory that the program was installed into with exception to GIZA Specifier. Setting the common libraries in Graphics: 1. Open GIZA (Basic, Enhanced or Professional). 2. Choose Tools>Options. 3. Select the tab marked Files. 4. Left click the Advanced button. 5. Direct your attention to the box marked Common Libraries. This is where GIZA will look to find any libraries. Notice the default is c:\giza. Left click the Common Libraries box. 6. The Select Common Library directory box appears. You must now left click on the drive letter that the library folder has been installed to, and then left click on the folder that holds the libraries. In the example I am using above I would left click the <h:\ > drive and then left click the folder named graphiclibs. 7. Left click OK GIZA Appendix C 219

226 8. In your options box it should now say Common Libraries and have the new path next to it. For me it would be h:\graphiclibs. 9. Left click Apply. 10. Left click OK. Setting the common libraries in Specifier: 1. Open GIZA Specifier. 2. Choose Setups>Library. 3. Left click the Add button. 4. In the Select Directory window, you will notice a field on the bottom that shows your current drive letter. It defaults to the <c:\> drive. 5. If you left click the drop down arrow to the right of the drive window, Specifier will show you a list of all available drive letters including network drives. 6. Select the drive letter that you installed your Specifier Libraries into. 7. When you select the appropriate drive, a list of yellow folders will appear in your directory hierarchy. Scan the list of yellow folders until you see the folder that you installed the Specifier libraries into. 8. Left click the yellow folder that contains Specifier libraries. 9. Left click the Select button. 10. If Specifier says that a certain library already exists and to overwrite, choose YES to ALL. 220 Appendix C GIZA
