Floor Generator

Use the Floor Generator to create custom flooring layouts with precise dimensions, tile quantities and flooring types, directly within your event map.

Adding a Floor

To create a custom floor:

  1. Navigate to Item Library → Smart Objects → Floor Generator.

  2. Click on the map where you would like to place the floor.

  3. The Floor Generator window will open.

Floor Settings

Configure the details of your flooring layout:

  • Name: Enter a name for your floor.

  • Floor Type: Choose from Standard, Mesh, Wooden, Carpet or Dance Floor.

  • Tile Width: Enter the width of each individual flooring tile in metres.

  • Tile Length: Enter the length of each individual flooring tile in metres.

  • No. Tiles Width: Enter the number of tiles across the width of your floor.

  • No. Tiles Length: Enter the number of tiles along the length of your floor.

  • Opacity: Adjust the transparency of your flooring on the map.

The Floor Generator uses your tile dimensions and quantities to create a flooring layout at the correct scale.

Example: If you're using 1 m × 1 m flooring tiles and enter 10 tiles wide by 15 tiles long, EventLab will create a 10 m × 15 m floor using 150 tiles.

Preview Your Floor

Once you've entered your flooring dimensions and tile quantities, a Preview will appear showing your floor layout.

The preview automatically updates as you adjust your settings, allowing you to visualise the flooring configuration and check the overall dimensions before placing it on your map.

Creating the Floor

Once you're happy with your configuration:

  1. Click Add Floor.

  2. Your custom floor will be placed onto the map.

You can then move, rotate and manage the floor like any other map object.

Use the Attributes tab in the right-hand panel to add additional information, including suppliers, notes and custom attributes.

Editing an Existing Floor

You can update your flooring configuration at any time.

  1. Select the floor on your map.

  2. Open the right-hand panel.

  3. Click Edit Floor.

  4. Make your changes in the Floor Generator.

You can adjust the tile dimensions, quantities, flooring type and opacity.

Your floor will update on the map to reflect your changes.

TIP: Use the Floor Generator to calculate the number of flooring tiles required for marquees, dance floors, staging areas and other temporary event structures, making equipment and supplier planning easier.
