# Booth Layout Guide
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
The Expolinc Booth Designer supports the standard trade fair booth layout types. Each layout determines how walls are arranged, which sides are open, and what components are needed.
|
||||
|
||||
## Layout Types
|
||||
|
||||
### Inline (Row Booth)
|
||||
|
||||
A booth with one back wall and open front side. The most economical and common layout for small spaces.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Front (open)
|
||||
┌─────────────────────┐
|
||||
│ │
|
||||
│ │ ← Side wall (optional)
|
||||
│ │
|
||||
└─────────────────────┘
|
||||

|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
| Property | Value |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| **Open sides** | 1 (front) |
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Grid System
|
||||
|
||||
Expolinc components use a **990mm grid** (standard exhibition grid). Wall widths should ideally be multiples of this grid for optimal component fit.
|
||||
|
||||
| Grid Units | Width (mm) | Standard Sizes |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| 0.5× grid | 495 | — |
|
||||
| 1× grid | 990 | 950mm (nominal) |
|
||||
| 2× grid | 1980 | 1950mm |
|
||||
| 3× grid | 2970 | 2950mm |
|
||||
| 4× grid | 3960 | 3950mm |
|
||||
| 5× grid | 4950 | 4950mm |
|
||||
| Custom | Any | Built from multiple sections |
|
||||
|
||||
The layout engine automatically selects the best combination of standard sizes to match requested booth dimensions.
|
||||
|
||||
## Component Placement Rules
|
||||
|
||||
### Wall Orientation
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Z (up)
|
||||
│
|
||||
│ ┌──────────────┐
|
||||
│ │ │
|
||||
│ │ Wall │──→ Y (depth)
|
||||
│ │ │
|
||||
│ └──────────────┘
|
||||
└────────────────────→ X (width)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- Walls are created in the XY plane (vertical)
|
||||
- Rotation is around the Z axis
|
||||
- 0° = facing +Y direction
|
||||
- 90° = facing +X direction
|
||||
- 180° = facing −Y direction
|
||||
- −90° = facing −X direction
|
||||
|
||||
### Corner Joining
|
||||
|
||||
When two walls meet at a corner:
|
||||
- The corner connector is placed at the intersection point
|
||||
- Each wall is inset by half the profile thickness from the corner
|
||||
- The connector bridges the gap and provides structural continuity
|
||||
|
||||
### Storage Room Placement
|
||||
|
||||
Storage rooms are placed behind a wall (on the exterior side):
|
||||
- Width matches the wall section it attaches to
|
||||
- Depth extends outward from the booth
|
||||
- A door is placed on the interior side
|
||||
|
||||
## Size Recommendations
|
||||
|
||||
| Booth Size | Layout | Components Estimate |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| 9 m² (3×3m) | Inline | 1× Classic Frame wall, 2× side walls |
|
||||
| 12 m² (4×3m) | Corner | 2× walls, 1× corner connector |
|
||||
| 18 m² (6×3m) | Peninsula | 3× walls, 2× corner connectors |
|
||||
| 24 m² (6×4m) | Island | 4× walls, 4× corner connectors |
|
||||
| 36 m² (6×6m) | Island | 4× walls (larger), 4× corner connectors |
|
||||
| 48 m² (8×6m) | Island | 4× walls + storage rooms |
|
||||
| 88 m² | Custom | Multiple wall sections, storage, backlit |
|
||||
|
||||
## Combining Classic Frame and Light Frame
|
||||
|
||||
Classic Frame and Light Frame modules are fully compatible and can be mixed within a single booth:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Classic Frame** — Standard wall sections with SEG fabric graphics
|
||||
- **Light Frame** — Backlit sections for highlights, logos, product emphasis
|
||||
- **Integration** — Same frame dimensions, connectors, and grid system
|
||||
|
||||
Design guideline: Use Light Frame for 20–30% of wall area (brand focal points) and Classic Frame for the remaining area.
|
||||
|
||||
