Exporting to Floorplanner

Exporting your iGUIDE to Floorplanner.com

The Floorplanner Export page allows you to export iGUIDE floor plans to the Floorplanner.com platform for advanced furniture and space planning, and visualization in both 2D and 3D. This article explains how to start using this feature on the iGUIDE Portal.

Make sure you head over to Floorplanner.com to create an account before you start.

UPDATE: Effective Nov. 17th, 2021, a (free) level 1 project on Floorplanner is limited to 1-floor level. When exporting an iGUIDE with multiple floors into a level 1 project, only 1 floor will be shown. Upgrade your project to level 2 in order to enable multiple floors.

1. First, make sure that you enabled the Floorplanner add-on when creating your iGUIDE. If you didn’t, you can still enable it on the Package & Add-ons page of the iGUIDE. See Figure 1.
