Operation Description
Edit

Add a region onto a floor plan. Click once to begin drawing a region, and double click (or
Ctrl+click) when you are finished drawing. Specify a Region Type for the new region. Region types
include Location Testing, Planning, Wiring Closet, and Location Probability. Refer to "Adding
Regions" on page 285 for more information on adding regions.
Resize Update the scale of the floor plan to properly reflect the accurate dimensions of the floor plan.
Building Orientation
For customers who leverage external APIs, this option enables you to retrieve device location using
longitude and latitude coordinates for two GPS points rather than (x,y) coordinates relative to the
floor plan image.
NOTE: This option can be ignored for customers who do not leverage the external APIs.
Set Origin
Set a single origination point per floor. The origination point is used for multi-floor buildings so that
VisualRF knows how to vertically align multiple floor plans. This is especially useful in multi-floor
buildings for ensuring that multi-floor heatmaps display properly.
A best practice is to select a common location that is identifiable on all floors, such as the corner of
the building, a stairwell, elevator shaft, etc., and then place the orientation icon in the same
location on all floor plans in the building. Then, for example, if you crop out more white space on
the first floor (for a lobby, for example), VisualRF will have enough information to adjust and ensure
that the floors are not misaligned.
