The map making process is automatic and the required input is a DWG-file.
In theory MazeMap can work with all DWG-files, but the result and quality of the maps is dependent on the files we received from the customers.
What gives the best results is when the file has:
- all constructive elements like walls, stairs, elevators, doors and room labels in a specific separate layer for each
- all rooms have unique labels
- all labels are inside room boundaries they are attached to
- furniture is in a separate layer from all the other elements
- polyline (outline) boundary for each room / zone / searchable space - AutoCAD drawings often contain area polylines. This is not strictly necessary, but can speed up our automatic room recognition significantly.
- walls have thresholds
- separate file per each floorplan of the building
- no hidden layers and noise
- Unit set to meters
Our
system system does not support
these these types of CAD elements:
- AutoCAD regions
- Proprietary ADT or ARX objects
- 3D faces
- XREFs - all needed information for one floorplan should be in one drawing
- Faces
- Dimensions
- Attributes, or Attribute blocks
If file consists any useful information in this kind of elements - we will have to extract it manually by using AutoCAD.
Therefore please request to prepare files before sending.
