How to distinguish "spaces" on the HoloLens
I connect to a corporate WiFi system with my HoloLens. There are many APs and they all share the same SSID. When I use the HoloLens at the office, I end up having multiple spaces, all named the same SSID. Is it possible to name these spaces differently? For instance I know where I am at in the Building. Can I manage these spaces by changing the name after it has been created, so I know what I'm loading when I go back there and manually LOAD a space.

Thanks! Currently naming spaces isn't something that's available, in the update to the Windows Holographic OS (Build 14342) they appear to break out different spaces on the same SSID name...for example my office SSID now has Space 1, Space 2, and Space 3, but still no way to rename them that I can se.

Both Fragments and Young Conker have functionality where you can assign a space to one of several pre-configured names, but you can't use an arbitrary name. I also remember scanning a space in Young Conker and seeing it show up in Fragments, but they didn't show up as separate spaces in HoloLens system settings.
How do you manually load a space?
A Microsoft developer mentioned there was a private API to load an externally scanned space, perhaps they will open that up in the future.

Is there any update on the ability to rename "spaces"?
Is there any new on this private API ?
How can I save space externally (like in a database hosted over the network) and load them by scripts ?
Is there any way to convert a FBX 3D scan of a room into a Hololens readable space so the device can recognize my 3D scan (done with another device than an Hololens) as a pre-scanned space by the Hololens ?
So I can place Holograms in Unity considering my FBX scan and when the app is run on the device, it automatically set those Hologram in the correct position in my real world.
