In this session, we transition from foundational RF theory into hands-on predictive Wi-Fi design. Using Hamina Wireless, we walk through step by step how to set up a professional predictive model from scratch, using real-world event designs as examples (such as a recent venue deployment in Toronto, Canada). Key technical topics covered in this session include: The Project Lifecycle & AI Detection: How choosing the correct building environment type (office, warehouse, convention center) optimizes Hamina’s AI model for automatic wall and obstacle recognition, Setting the Scale & Coordinates: We cover how the software establishes a pixels-per-meter grid and local XY coordinates, Auto-Draw & Custom Wall Creation: Utilizing the auto-draw feature for automatic material placement, editing material loss values, and creating custom materials, 3D Attenuation Objects & Custom Furniture, Advanced Architectural Features: Step-by-step guidance on constructing multi-landing staircases using the Sloped Floor tool, setting lower/upper height markers, drawing landings (Raised Floors), and enabling structural steps, Windows & Openings.
Chat Notes:
01:01:36 simon: how to change one of dry wall to something else in earlier step?
01:09:53 Sebastián Mozó: it is important to draw the ceiling too?
01:13:50 Zaur Nedashkovskiy: Replying to “it is important to d…” Id say only if you hame some exotic ceiling (dropped) that will be below AP. Some times you may have huddle rooms that have ceiling lower than the rest of the floor and you mount APs outside higher. What I am trying to say – its situational.
01:14:44 Guillermo Parra: Does Hamina support creating a reusable database of attenuation objects that can be exported and imported between different user accounts? We would like to share standardized attenuation object libraries across our engineering team and with other designers to ensure consistency between projects.
01:21:47 Guillermo Parra: Can drawing objects be copied and pasted between different Hamina projects? For example, if we have a standardized floor layout or commonly used annotations, can we reuse those objects in another design without recreating them from scratch?
01:25:31 Zaur Nedashkovskiy: Columns – you can do X (or Cross) instead of circle, or use attentuation square. @Ferney Muñoz – can you shine some light on drawing columns (when you skip and when you don’t) with a reference to refraction ?
01:28:10 Zaur Nedashkovskiy: i.e. do you always draw columns ? Or if there are few/scattered – you don’t because of refraction ?
01:28:41 Zaur Nedashkovskiy: Top right corner – “Compute FRT”
01:30:22 Sebastián Mozó: Replying to “it is important to d…” I believe that just as walls affect reflections and refraction, the ceiling also contributes, even more so if it is a metal one.
01:34:36 Ned Neece: Replying to “it is important to d…” In modern office spaces you see a lot of open ceilings with pipes, metal, HVAC etc. Def affects.
01:39:05 Zaur Nedashkovskiy: Replying to “Screenshot2026_08_03_093056.jpg” BTW – Dynamic attenuation per frequency is checked on all default materials.
