After setting polarity, Home Check lays the bagua ring over the plan so each room knows its trigram and sector.

Bagua八卦
Explanation
In the Later Heaven arrangement used for homes: Kan is north, Gen northeast, Zhen east, Xun southeast, Li south, Kun southwest, Dui west and Qian northwest.
Each trigram contains three of the 24 mountains and carries one of the five elements: Kan Water, Li Fire, Zhen and Xun Wood, Qian and Dui Metal, Gen and Kun Earth.

How Home Check uses it
Questions
Is the compass bagua the same as a bagua mirror over a door?
Same eight trigrams, but on the compass the bagua is a coordinate system for reading direction; a bagua mirror is a folk remedy, not a measuring tool.
Where is the bottom line of a trigram on the compass?
The bottom line sits toward the centre and the top line toward the rim — trigrams read from the inside out.
