Underlay and floor plan issues

Alignment, rotation, opacity, and performance when working over venue plans.

When to use this

Use when the site map or floor plan layer behaves unexpectedly.

Alignment

  • Use rotation in 90° steps when plan north does not match canvas.
  • Pick two known points (column grid, stage edge) and align devices to those after scaling.
  • Lock underlay edit mode off when drawing zones so you do not drag the plan accidentally.

Visibility

  • Reduce underlay opacity if ports are hard to read.
  • Hide underlay temporarily when exporting diagram-only deliverables.

Performance

Very large floor plan PNGs slow pan/zoom — resize source to reasonable pixel dimensions before upload.
