Then, a map of the floor was created using the Custom Map Creator add-in. The add-in creates two tables
to define the shapes; an XY table and a Name table. The instructions below describe how it was built.
To create a map of the floor:
1. Launch the add-in through the menu items Add-Ins > Map Shapes > Custom Map Creator. Two tables
open in the background followed by the Custom Map Creator Window.
2. Drag a background image into the graph frame. An image of the floor plan was available.
3. Perform any resizing on the background image and graph the frame.
4. Name the table (for example, S4).
5. Click Next.
6. Name the shape that you are about to define. For this example, each office was individually named for
the map (for example, S4001).
7. Within the graph frame, use your mouse to click all of the boundaries of the shape that you want to
define. A line appears that connects all of the boundary points.
8. As soon as you finish defining the boundaries of the shape, click Next Shape. Continue adding shapes
until you have completed the floor plan. Note that you do not need to connect the final boundary point;
the add-in automatically does that for you when you click Next Shape.
9. The line size and color can be changed. In addition, checking Fill Shapes fills each shape with a random
color.
