Creating Floor Plans
You can use the Floor Plan to lay out floors in a building, view Live RF data, locate devices, add
additional floors to a building, and plan where to place devices on a floor for maximum coverage. To
create a floor plan:
1. Upload an background image to use as a guide to insert walls, cubicles, doors, elevators, etc.
2. Add additional floors if your building contains two or more floors.
3. Use the editing tools to insert walls, cubicles, doors, elevators, etc.
Maximum Size Allowed for a Scaled Floor Plan
There is a maximum size for the amount of territory covered in a floor plan. The maximum diagonal(line
drawn from the bottom-left corner to the upper-right corner) is 1000 meters. If you scale the floor plan
beyond a 1000 meter limit, regardless of the image size, the RF Modeling Engine crashes and generates
an error message: Design bounds exceeding maximum design area.
Note
The maximum total amount of territory (real estate) for a scaled floor plan is determined by a
diagonal line from the two furthest corners of the diagram. This line can be no longer than
1000 meters (3280 ft.) For a perfectly square floor plan, this represents a single side of no
greater than 707.1 meters (2320 ft.) and a total area of 50,000 sq meters (538,196 sq ft.)
Uploading Background Image
The first time that you access a Floor Plan, you will need to upload a background image for your first
floor. If you are accessing a Floor Plan from an area (building), the first floor is selected. If you are
accessing a Floor Plan from a floor, that floor is selected.
