Buildings

On the left part of the dialogue window, you can manage your buildings and the outside of your venue.

You can add a new one by clicking on "Add new building", reorder existing buildings by clicking and holding the 6 dots on the left of your building's names.

Floors

Once you have selected a building, you can use the right part of the dialogue window to edit its structure and parameters.

You can :

  1. Edit the selected building ID and Name from the top part of the right section.
  2. Edit the floors of the selected building in the bottom part of this section.
    To add a new floor, click the "Add a new floor" button. To reorder floors, click and hold the six dots on the left of the ID input. You can choose which floor will be your default floor, meaning the one that will be visible by default when clicking on its building in the final application. You can also delete a given floor by clicking on the trash can on the right of the corresponding floor line.

Understanding each column of the table :

  • Floor ID: A functional piece of information that will be used by the SDK. It cannot contain any characters other than alphanumeric characters.
  • Name, Short : These will be displayed in your application by the SDK.
  • LODs (Level of Detail): This feature enables the display of different sets of information based on the distance from which you are viewing the map. When viewing a floor, the LOD0 of the floor underneath it will be displayed, giving the map a stacked floor look. It is recommended to use only two LODs: one to display all the information (LOD1), and the other to give the stacked look (LOD0).
  • Gap: This allows you to manage the distance between each floor.
  • Altitude: The altitude is set by default (in 10 meters increments). You can choose to override these default value, but be careful when reordering floors afterward, since the altitude will not be automatically adjusted.

Connections :

Connections allow you to connect two floor from different building together. This means that when you will select a connected floor in your final application, the floor it is connected to will also be displayed.

To create a connection between two floors, click on the "Edit" button for one of the floor you wish to connect. Then, using the drop-down corresponding to each available building, select the floor you wish to connect.

Then, when you are done editing, click on the "Done" button.
