iGUIDE for Facility Management

Updated

Overview

iGUIDE helps Facility Managers capture, document, and manage building data through accurate floor plans and immersive 3D tours. It enables quick interior scans, precise measurements, and shareable virtual environments, supporting space planning, maintenance, and stakeholder collaboration from a single digital platform.

This system provides a clear and detailed view of facility conditions, helping managers coordinate inspections, plan layouts, and communicate with contractors, designers, and regulators without relying on repeated site visits.

Important Notes

Key details to keep in mind when using iGUIDE for facility management:

  3. The Default View is not discoverable on the iGUIDE Map
  4. RMS is the measurement standard for Canada and other regions
  5. ANSI is the measurement standard for the United States
  6. Floor plans can be exported in multiple formats, including PDF, DXF, DWG, JPG, and SVG
  7. Real-time tagging supports detailed documentation but requires proper setup
  8. Integration with CAD and space planning software is supported, though formatting adjustments may be needed
