How can I create Floor Plans?

Floor plans can be added to your structure plans

Structures can have as many "Floor Plan" entries as desired.

  • Provide a name

    • Floor 1

    • Floor 2-5

    • Floor 10

    • etc.

  • Provide a floor plan image(s) and any other documents

Sometimes, a floor plan document may not be readily available.

Here are some creative options for getting floor plans for your buildings:

  • BEST: Ask for a digital image from the building owner/architect

    • Preferably an image that can be zoomed in (SVG) and maintain readability

    • But one that is not gigantic and too overwhelming to load and scroll

  • GOOD START: Get a copy of the "You are Here" floorplans during a site visit

  • PRO TIP: take a photo of the "You are Here" diagrams as a placeholder that you can always delete once you get a better image, but at least you walk away with something!

And if you really need to have a floorplan more customized to your needs, you can create one yourself:

  • Use a 3rd-party app on your phone to create a rough floor plan on your own

    • http://www.magic-plan.com (Magic Plan requires a paid plan, but it is really pretty awesome and feature rich. You should check it out.)
