Creating Fire Volumes

The Create Fire Volume tab allows you to define a space for the fire that is an alternative to the regions created in the mesh generation process.

Begin by entering a name for the fire volume in the Fire Volume Name text box.

Next select the volume creation method from the drop-down list:

• A bounding box with minimum and maximum coordinates
• The absolute size with a midpoint and size bounds

The fields below the drop-down list change with your selection of method. Enter the appropriate coordinates.

Once you enter values, you can create the volume by clicking the Create Fire Source button.

The fire volume that you create appears with its pertinent data in the Created Fire Volumes list.

Once you finish with the wizard by clicking Apply, the fire volume also appears in the object tree within the Regions node.

It is also possible to manage the fire volumes in the list. For example, if you wish to create a second fire volume similar to the first, you need not repeat the entire creation process. Simply select the name of the fire volume in the list and click Copy Fire Source. An additional fire volume appears in the list. Select that copy, make any changes you wish, and then click Edit Fire Source to apply your changes. You can also delete fire volumes by selecting them in the list and clicking Delete Fire Source.
