Prime obstacle height

Jason Vanlandingham — Mon, 05 Jul 2021 17:04:30 GMT

Is there a way to draw an obstacle on a Prime map and specify how tall it is? The situation is a building with a large outdoor walk-in cooler behind it. We are putting in outdoor antennas. I want to show how this cooler is blocking signal for antennas placed below its top, but show that if we place an antenna above it the signal will get by.

From what i can tell Prime does not let you set the heights of walls for example ponywalls etc.

The walls go ground to ceiling/ AP heights I believe

You can do this in Ekahau for predictive modelling.

You can set the AP heights in Prime

I wouldn't try to do that in Prime, which is only guesswork and not using real measurement data. Better use Ekahau or similar, where you can actually measure the signal.
