Floorplan#

Via the Floorplan add-on it is possible for you to assign graphical plans to all objects which are location objects, to match them with measurements and to position the locally assigned objects in this plan.

This add-on is installed via the admin center. Afterwards you will find it at Extras → Floorplan.

Rights assignment#

Under Administration → Authorization system → Rights → Floorplan, rights for persons and groups of persons can be adjusted.

Create a Floorplan#

The objects for which you wish to create a floorplan can be selected via the magnifier at the top of the screen. All object types that can serve as locations are available for this. If floorplans have been created already, these can be selected and opened via the multicolored table next to the magnifier. Graphics as for example the layout of a room can be put in the background via the  button. A scale can be added to this graphic using the  button. The measuring of the room helps for the positioning of objects later on so that these can be represented true to their scale and their defined formfactor.

The following graphic formats are supported for the floorplan: bmp, png, jpg, jpeg, gif. The maximum file size is limited to 5mb.

Assign and Place Objects

Via the  button you can access an overview list of all objects which are locally assigned.

All objects that are displayed with a green  are not yet assigned within the plan. You can either do this for each single object using the  button or you can put all objects on the plan at once by using the  button. Objects that have not yet been locally assigned to this object can be assigned using the  button which makes those objects available for positioning. Once the objects are on the plan they can be moved and selected via double click.

Adjust and Form Objects on the Floorplan#

In the left area you will find the option to further adjust and form objects. As soon as an object is selected it can be edited:

 Change position: This selects the object and it can be positioned immediately (same function as double clicking the object).

 Choose / create objectform: The form of the object can be adjusted as desired. Custom forms can be saved.

 Center on object: The selected object is centered in the middle of the screen.

 Rotate: The object can be rotated in any desired way.

 Unposition object: The object disappears from the floorplan but can be added again using the object list.

 The objects data from the Formfactor category are applied via this button. The object will be scaled and displayed accordingly to the set scale of the floorplan.

Certain object types can be shown or hidden within the floorplan using this selection list in the lower area.

The selected object within the floorplan will be opened in a new tab inside the browser when you click this button.

When the object is selected in edit mode, it is highlighted by a blinking outline and further options are available for changing the shape and free rotation.

Zusammenführung von Raumplänen#

It should be possible to add floorplans to a floorplan - let's think of a floor that contains several rooms. In this "floor" floorplan we want to position the "room" floorplan. We need to set some basic rules here - for example, we show only three levels of floorplan, that is:

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
12

Base floorplan:
-   obj A
-   obj B
-   floorplan A:
    -   obj C
    -   obj D
-   floorplan B:
    -   obj E
    -   obj F
    -   floorplan C (display as a empty block without its positioned objects)
        -   obj G
        -   obj H

Let us imagine we are currently viewing "main floorplan". We should be able to see the nested "floorplan A" and inside of that we should be able to see "floorplan B" (including "obj E" and "obj F"). But "floorplan C" will not be displayed as floorplan - instead it will look like a basic object, because we limit the nested floorplans to three levels (to prevent recursion, memory and performance issues).

How it works#

If you are viewing "main floorplan" you can move "floorplan A" and "floorplan B" like the other objects ("obj A" and "obj B") - you can not edit anything inside this imported

When can a nested floorplan be displayed?#

In order to display "floorplan A" as floorplan inside "main floorplan" it has to fulfill one of these conditions:

• Have a background image
• Have a layout

If one of these conditions is met, you will see the following icon, when editing a floorplan object (inside another floorplan):

Example

The floorplan should be scaled to the previous object size, the layout / background image will be used to determine the scale.

Floorplan Profiles#

Profiles can be created so that only certain objects or attributes of the objects are displayed.
A profile is supplied with the program. Of course, you can also create your own profiles.

To create a new profile click on .
This opens a popup window in which the profiles are managed.

After clicking on "Create new profile" we get to the editing view. Here we first assign the name of the profile. Then we can choose whether "Open object view when clicking on object" should be activated and whether
whether "Double-click on object to open in new tab" should be activated.

In the Visualization Options tab we have a choice:

• Highlight color: Here you can select a color that outlines the object when it is clicked.
  With the selection of #FB481C this would look like this

• Show object radius: This defines whether the object radius is displayed by default.

In the Default values tab an object type filter can be configured.

In the Object Information tab, attributes can be selected from various categories.

This object information is then displayed in the object view under object information.

In the Settings tab you can define the profile, globally or for users as default.

Export#

Floorplans can be exported as SVG or PNG file using the button .
