I found here a lisp for distributing sprinklers on AutoCAD for rectangular room ,then I modified that lisp a little with someone help to approximate the spacing distance , Now I want to modify the lisp which there is exceptions according to NFPA that affect distribution , first when the lisp takes the 2 points to define the rectangular dimensions i want from it to calculate the area first then
If the answer is yes, perform the following comparisons:
- Check if the length of the room (rectangle) is less than or equal to 9.1. If the answer is no, proceed with the original method to calculate the number of sprinklers in the code.
- If the answer is yes, check if the length of the room is less than or equal to 5.
- If yes, the number of sprinklers in the length direction is 1.
- Check if the width of the room is greater than 4.6. If yes, proceed with the original method to calculate the number of sprinklers in the code. If no, the number of sprinklers for the entire room is 1 at the center.
- If the length of the room is not greater than 5, the number of sprinklers in the length direction is 2, with a distance of 4.6 between them.
- Check if the width of the room is less than or equal to 4.6. If yes, the number of sprinklers in the width direction is 1. If no, the number of sprinklers in the width direction is 2, with a distance of 3.6 between them.
