In this video, we’re going to upload and scale our floorplan image. So to start, let’s go to Location, click Live View, add Floorplan, and let’s give it a meaningful name. In this case, I’ll give you guys a template. Call it Company name, floor, let’s call it N. Click OK.
Upload Image, and my image happens to be in Downloads. It could be in any folder that you choose. Click Upload.
So a couple of important points about the image itself. You want to make sure that it’s either a PNG image, a GIF image, or a JPEG. And then also you want to make sure that you don’t have a lot of white space around the image.
In this case, I have a large looking buffer right here. This is just part of what we show in the dashboard. The actual image itself is contained to about this rectangle that I’m drawing out right there. So there’s not a lot of white space.
OK. So now let’s scale the image. So let’s click Setup Floorplan. Click Set Scale, and drag and drop between two points. So now what I’m doing here, is I’m selecting two points that I know the distance between in real life. And I have very high confidence that I know that the distance between these two points is 12.15 meters.
So now I’m going to click right here and say, Enter a new length. 12.15 and click OK, and click Done. And then once we’ve saved the image, that’s all we need to do. You just need to note two points that you know the distance between, and then enter in that value like I just did.
Now click Save. And that’s it. Now we’ve upload it and we have scaled our image.
