Creating a New Campus
Floors are associated with a building and buildings are associated with a campus. In order to create a new floor,
you must first create a campus and building.
To create and place your campus, follow these steps:
1. Navigate to VisualRF > Floor Plans.
2. Select the Add Campus button, located above the floor plan on the top left. The Create New Campus
window, illustrated in Figure 219, appears.
NOTE: If you prefer not to use background maps for your campus or building placements, click a background and select Auto-
Arrange to move the campuses, buildings from their placements into an alphabetically-sorted list.
