Clarifications for Toilet entity and its properties; proposal of new properties

[k00ni]

In this proposal i'd like to discuss properties of Toilet and usage of FoldingHandles.

Toilet

The Toilet entity has the following properties currently:

• spaceInFront
• spaceOnUsersRightSide
• spaceOnUsersLeftSide
• foldingHandles
• hasFoldingHandles
• heightOfBase

(1)

Could you please tell me, what "space" means, for instance in spaceOnUsersLeftSide? Do you mean the length or the depth of the area left/right of the user?

(2)

Using foldingHandles is a little bit narrow, because there are support handles which are not foldable. Would you be open to add more details here?

---

I would like to propose the following property additions to the Toilet entity.

The following properties clarify:

• available space in the toilet
• emergency bell information
• door information
• steps and handrail information till toilet

Property	Data Type
markedWithPictogramAsDisabledToilet	bool
areaInFrontOfWcLength	number
areaInFrontOfWcWidth	number
areaLeftOfWcLength	number
areaLeftOfWcWidth	number
areaRightOfWcLength	number
areaRightOfWcWidth	number
supportHandles (see below in FoldableHandles section)	SupportHandle [ ]
vanityBasinFittingActivation	string
stairs	Stairs[]
doors	Door[]
emergencyBellInsideToiletCabinAvailable replaced by emergencyBell	EquipmentInfo[ ]
leftSupportHandleFoldable located within FoldingHandle	bool
rightSupportHandleFoldable located within FoldingHandle	bool
stepsTillToiletAvailable	bool
numberOfStepsTillToilet	bool
stepsHeightTillToilet	number
stepsTillToiletContinuousHandrailLeftAvailable	bool
stepsTillToiletContinuousHandrailRightAvailable	bool
stepsTillToiletFirstLastColorized	bool
doorWidth	number
doorUnlockableFromOutside	bool
distanceFromGroundEmergencyBellInsideToiletCabin

FoldingHandle => SupportHandle

I would like to rename it to SupportHandle, because there are handles, which are not foldable. If you enforce FoldingHandle, other types of handles have to be created with the same/similar properties.

I would change it to:

Existing properties	Data Type
distanceBetweenHandles	Length
onUsersLeftSide	bool
onUsersRightSide	bool
topHeightFromFloor	Length
New properties
isFoldable	bool

Feel free to adapt the properties, if there is a more suitable word in English.

EDIT: I cancelled Door and Stairs related properties in favor of using Door and Stairs instances directly.

EDIT 2: Relation to FoldableHandles discussed; proposal to renaming it to SupportHandle.

[k00ni]

I reworked my proposal (e.g. added critics about FoldableHandle).

Could you please tell me, what "space" means, for instance in spaceOnUsersLeftSide? Do you mean the length or the depth of the area left/right of the user?

Space means the length/width/depth of clearance, from the user's perspective (while using the facility).

I'd leave the single properties for measurements and add a description how they are to be used:

I've renamed the word FoldingHandles to the correct English term GrabBars (plural, as it's defining a fixed structure named with a plural word in English) for the next release, and added the foldable property.

What do you mean by vanityBasinFittingActivation?

[k00ni]

vanityBasinFittingActivation is used to describe activation mechanism of the tap/valve at the basin.

Ah, thanks!

I'd move this to a separate entity describing a tap activation mechanism. In our new office I've learned that this can be complex. For whatever reason, the tap in our office kitchen has 3 interdependent activation mechanisms, and for taps inside toilets, there is stuff like this:
