Bounds and Interiors (RTLS Use Case Only)

      3. The corresponding RTLS>Setting to enable using these boundaries is 'Use Bounds'
    2. Interiors (Beta) allows for fine grained output of the rtls engine based on contextual information.
      1. Interiors (Beta) 
      2. Rooms, Legal Space, and Portals allows to define areas that are allowed for the location engine to output a location.
      3. Furniture defines areas that are not allowed. 
      4. The interior objects should not have vertexes that close to each other for best results.
      5. Use the pen tool to draw each Room. Then switch to Furniture and use the pen tool to draw furniture.
      6. The corresponding Rtls Settings that allow the Interiors to be used are 'Use Bounds Exclusions' and 'Wall Block Ratio'
