Essential tips for effective map publishing
You’re focused! You’re in the mapping zone! You’ve crafted a fantastic indoor map, but is it truly ready to be published? Ensuring your map is fully optimized before your audience sees it involves more than just basic design. Luckily, our mapping experts have created this handy guide to ensure your maps are polished and ready to go live.
First, it's crucial to understand and address any warnings and issues your map may have. Begin by checking the Warnings panel for any detected problems. Resolving all highlighted issues ensures your map functions smoothly and accurately.
Next, you want to make sure that all spaces intended for navigation are clearly labeled and equipped with doors. This step also involves removing doors from areas that are off-limits, thus preventing unnecessary confusion. When creating entrances, utilize the Door tool instead of leaving gaps between walls, as leaving open gaps won’t automatically create a room.
It also helps to provide additional details for doors such as swing path direction and whether it’s a double or single door. While doors won’t be reflected in your 3D map view, they appear when you export the map as a safety PDF.
