Non-rectangluar Room Shapes
It is now possible to create non-rectangular room shapes in IT Advisor CFD. Using 'cutouts', you can trim away portions of the base rectangular room to get to the data center footprint shape that you need.
Here is how to get started
Above where you set the room dimensions, choose 'Edit Room Shape'
From there, pick 'Add cutout' from the blue banner ('Rectangular' is the only option for now, 'Angled' is in progress)
Place the rectangular cutout along the room perimeter. Notice how the wall reforms around the cutout
Select 'Done' in the blue banner and continue building your data center model
