Background
Since last year's addition of desk booking functionality - Humly Desk Booking - and the more frequent integrations with sensors we have seen an increased need for a quick and easy way to visualise occupancy and other data for an entire office at a glance. We think it is good to show the room and desk availability in a 3D overview of the office space.
Humly Floor Plan is available in Humly control panel version 1.14 and above, it allows the users to quickly and easily visualize occupancy and show the rooms and desks availability in a 3D overview of the office space.

Create Floor Plan
To create a Floor Plan, send your existing floor plans and cloud ID to floorplan@humly.com , including the scale of the map (we need the measurements of one wall at least). The supported formats are jpg, png, gif, or pdf. The processing may require manual fine-tuning, so please expect this process to take a few days to pass quality assurance. After processing and quality assurance, you will receive a Floor Map ID and Client Token, which will be used to create the Floor Plan in HCP, as explained in the next section.
The floor plan file should include the square meters of the map and the placement of the desks and chairs, this is required to map the desk resources to Humly Floor Plan.
In case Humly Floor Plan is intended to be used for room booking only, the placement of the furniture is not a must, however, the maps will look better when the furniture and annotations are provided.
To create a new Floor Plan, follow the steps below
- From Humly Control Panel, go to Floor Plan and click Create Floor Plan.
- Give the Floor Plan you are creating a name, fill in the client token you received from your sales contact, and assign the floor plan to a structure.
- Fill in the Floor Map ID, and click on load map.
- The map will be loaded, including the rooms, desks, and other furniture.
When the map has loaded, you may need to center it by pressing the "location-target" button (it looks like a cross-hair in the lower left corner of the map area).
You can also control the map view by zooming in or out using the mouse scroll wheel over the map area (or by pressing the zoom in/out buttons).
Click and drag with the mouse left mouse button to rotate the view. You can also recenter the map by double clicking fast at the part of the floor plan you want to center.
