Create and edit floor plans

Available with the ArcGIS Indoors Spaces extension.

With Indoor Floor Plan Editor, you can create floor plans and edit floor plan data to reflect real-world physical changes to your workplace.

You must have privileges associated with the default role of Data Editor or higher to create, open, and edit floor plans. If you're using a custom role, enable the Edit privilege for features in ArcGIS Enterprise to open and edit floor plans.

New floor plans can be kept private or shared with your organization. You can also update the sharing level of existing floor plans at any time.

Create a floor plan

You can create several floor plans in Floor Plan Editor, and each can be unique. Changes made to a floor plan that are saved exist only in that floor plan until merged with the default floor plan.

1. Verify that you are signed in to your ArcGIS organization and have privileges to create content.
2. Open the Floor Plan Editor app.
3. Click New Plan.

   The New Plan panel appears.

4. In the New Plan panel, provide a title and, optionally, a summary describing the floor plan.
5. Specify the access type by choosing a Share With option.
6. Click Create Plan.

   The new floor plan opens in Floor Plan Editor.

Open an existing floor plan

In Floor Plan Editor, you can open floor plans created by others if the floor plans are shared with the organization.

After opening the Floor Plan Editor app, a list of available floor plans appears. You can open a floor plan from the list, or create one.

Note:

If you have trouble opening a floor plan, ensure that you have the necessary permissions. Contact your Enterprise organization administrator to request access.

To delete a floor plan, click the Delete button next to the plan. You can only delete a floor plan if you created it, unless you are an administrator. Administrators can delete all plans. A plan cannot be deleted while it is open.

Floor plan editing

After creating or opening a floor plan, you can access the navigation pane containing a variety of tools for editing floor plan data from within a web browser.

The following functionality is available when editing floor plans:

• Plan—Create, delete, open, and update sharing of plans.
