The Map Builder application will open your floor plan for editing. In the header panel, you can select the primary tools of the application:

Base tools in the header

The Pan tool allows you to move your map around without accidentally altering any objects.

The Selection tool lets you select, move, and rotate objects directly on the map. You can also select objects from the list in the left sidebar. Once an object is selected, its properties will appear in the right sidebar, where you can modify the name, position, or form of the object.

Selection tool and object attributes

You can add additional objects by selecting the Create Object tool. Choose the object type and then select its variant. The available types include:

  • Bookable objects: Work station, Meeting room, and Parking spot.
  • Static objects: Special object, Furniture, and Text label.

These options allow you to customize your floor plan with both bookable and static elements.
