After the space definitions and adjacency data is complete, the overall building plate is drawn to scale, or left if not known. A user defined grid is displayed. Spaces whose location is known, e.g. vertical circulation or services areas, are dragged onto the plan. Following this, the software generates an optimised layout. This layout can be manually tweaked and space shapes altered, while maintaining the correct area. The layout is then given a score based on relationship rules and values placed on travel distances. Any number of alternate layouts can be generated and graded. Not a complete design solution, but a valuable tool in arriving at one.

Adjacency data is entered as a matrix, or may be imported from a text file. The two axis of the matrix are populated from the group list. The adjacenncy scale can have up to 5 values, from absolute to undesirable. There may be any number of groups, which may be on one level of the building, or as a stacking analysis, spread over multiple floors. The values in the adjacency scale are used to grade alternate layouts - refer to the Block screen.

The bubble diagram is generated by the space definitions (includes area so bubbles are to scale) and by adjacency data. The connecting lines, both by colour and thickness, indicate the importance of the link between the defined spaces. In practice this has been proven to be a valuable briefing tool. Even though it is a simplistic conceptual representation of design requirements, clients often readily identify with it and can see missing links, or links with an incorrect level of importance.
