Floor plans

Reference — Create and manage hall floor plans (walls and areas); they form the drawing area for the Factory Planner.

What you use this area for

In Floor plans you create the hall areas on which the Factory Planner arranges your machines. A floor plan describes the Geometry of a hall – essentially walls and areas. The actual placement of machines takes place later in the Factory Planner.

Floor plan and Factory Planner open the same editor

You draw the geometry of a floor plan in the Factory Planner editor – here in the Edit geometry mode, in the Factory Planner in the Populate mode. So first create the floor plan here and then place the machines on it in the Factory Planner.
