Feng shui reading

How a feng shui practitioner would read this home: the front door’s direction, the Bagua grid on each floor, the command position for beds and desks, and the usual layout notes. A cultural tradition, not a measured effect.

  • Where should the bed go for good feng shui?
  • Is the front door in line with the back door?
  • I was born in 1988 and I’m a woman: which rooms suit my directions?

For the agent, the tool is described as: Traditional Chinese feng shui reading of one scanned home from its floor plan and true north: front door facing direction, Bagua (Lo Shu) sectors per floor with life area and element, which rooms fall in each sector, command position for the bed in each bedroom and the desk in each office (with boxes), notes such as front and back doors in line, stairs facing the door, missing corners and a bathroom at the centre, and with a birth year and gender the person’s Kua number and favourable directions. Compass School by default; Western (BTB) door-aligned on request. Describe it as a cultural layout tradition, never as a proven effect.

Arranging a home by feng shui.

Input Type Required Default Notes
scan string yes Scan id. Filled from the selected building.
convention string "compass" compass: Compass School, the eight sectors named by true north. western: Western (BTB) Bagua, the grid turned so the front door wall is the Career row. Saved preference feng_shui.convention. One of: compass, western.
birth_year integer Birth year for the Kua number; use the year before for a birth before about 4 February. Saved preference feng_shui.birth_year.
gender string The Kua formula differs for men and women. Saved preference feng_shui.gender.
bed string "queen" Bed size to place. Saved preference feng_shui.bed. One of: twin, full, queen, king.
front_door string Opening id of the front door, when the first guess is wrong.

An input that nothing fills (the selected building, a saved preference, a persona’s preset) becomes a question to the person. The agent asks only for those.

Layer Id Needed If it is missing
Wall outline matterport.walls required The verdict is unknown, with the reason.
Rooms matterport.rooms required The verdict is unknown, with the reason.
Scan position matterport.geo optional Western (door-aligned) convention, no compass

A tool result: a verdict (pass, warn, fail or unknown), metrics, checks and findings, each with its source.

  • Draws on the building: a colour per room; pins on what it found; a route with its narrow points; a box or 3D model placed in the room.
  • Panel blocks: VerdictHeader, MetricRow, CheckList, FloorPlanMini, AssumptionChips, Note, StepLog.
  • Speed: fast. Read-only.

Feng shui: how a practitioner of this Chinese layout tradition would read the plan.

Sources this tool gave on the test home:

Where it came from Layer Method Reliability Note
Measured from the scan matterport geometry high Wall graph and room outlines

The tool sets the label for each value. A model never does. The tools give a scan’s wall graph the layer matterport whichever device made the scan, so a phone scan’s geometry carries that label too.

  • Needs: wall outline, rooms. On a scan without them, the verdict is unknown and says why.
  • A result is a planning aid, not an inspection.

This section was written by running the tool when the docs were built, on a hand-made RoomPlan export (no real place was scanned), with no sponsor keys and the network switched off.

Pass Western (BTB) reading: 0 layout notes a practitioner would raise, and 2 suggested bed or desk spots. A cultural tradition, not a measured effect.
