Add a floorplan to your project
Overview
Adding a floorplan helps your team visually organize and locate tasks directly within a project. This is especially useful when working on larger construction or commissioning projects where physical locations matter.
When and why to use this
Not sure when to add a floorplan or why it matters? Here’s when it becomes useful:
- When you want to connect tasks or systems to their physical location.
- When teams are working across multiple zones or areas.
- When you need to use visual planning or checklist placement in floor view.
- Floorplans must be in PDF format to upload.
Guide - How to add a floorplan
- In the left sidebar, click Files.
- Select the folder named Floorplans.
- Click the Upload Files button.
- Choose the PDF floorplans from your computer.
Add the floorplan to the project
When the floor plan has been uploaded, it needs to be added/converted to the project, so the system knows it's a floorplan and not just a "normal" file - this can be done in two ways.
- Method A - Is the quickest and is recommended of you have 1-5 files that needs to be converted
- Method B - Takes a little longer, but if you have multiple files that needs to be converted we recommend this option
Method A - Quick right-click
- In the Floorplans folder, right-click the uploaded floorplan.
- Click Add as floorplan.
Method B – Use the Floorplan module
- In the sidebar, go to Project setting.
- Click Floorplan & Arrangements.
- Select Add Floorplan to Project and choose the files you wish to convert.
Behavior and results
Once added:
- The floorplan will appear in the Floorplan module.
- You can now start placing checklists and tasks visually on the plan.
- Renaming the file later won’t affect its link to the project.
