Get started with Floor Plan Editor

ArcGIS Online    |

Available with the ArcGIS Indoors Spaces extension.

Indoors Floor Plan Editor is a browser-based app that allows you to modify existing floor plan data of indoor spaces to reflect real-world changes to your workplace or create new floor plans.

You can import floor plan data using ArcGIS Pro and share a floor-aware web map, or create a new indoor web map in the Indoors apps gallery. You can also import CAD drawings in Floor Plan Editor to add the floor plan to your indoors data. After sharing a floor-aware web map and creating the app, you can modify the floor plan data using editing tools and the object palette in the app, adding new objects such as doorways, walls, windows, and furniture. You can update existing units by editing walls, merging multiple units into one, or splitting one unit into multiple new units. You can also add new sites, facilities, levels, and units.

You can use the Floor Plan Editor app to do the following:

  • Edit existing floor plans.
  • Add sites, facilities, and levels to a floor plan.
  • Draw units manually by tracing over an image or specifying dimensions.
  • Draw walls manually by tracing over an image or specifying dimensions.
  • Place windows, entryways, floor transition points, and furniture using a custom object palette.
  • Split or merge existing units.
  • Import CAD drawings
  • Add an image of a floor plan and trace over the image.
  • Copy and paste objects in the floor plan.
  • Merge changes between an open plan and the current plan.

Creating and configuring the Floor Plan Editor app includes the following high-level steps:

  1. Review the system requirements.
  2. Configure your ArcGIS Online organization
  3. Optionally, prepare the data and map in ArcGIS Pro:
    1. In ArcGIS Pro, create an Indoors workspace that conforms to the ArcGIS Indoors Information Model, and, optionally, import floor plan data to it.
    2. In ArcGIS Pro, prepare a map for Floor Plan Editor.
      Note:

      You can use the IndoorsFloorPlanEditorMapTemplate map template included in the product data to prepare a map for Floor Plan Editor. Set the source of the map template layers to your Indoors workspace and share it as a floor-aware web map for use in Floor Plan Editor, with or without importing floor plan data to the Indoors workspace first.

    3. Share the map to your organization.
  4. Create a Floor Plan Editor app.
  5. Create and edit floor plans.
