🏢 How to Create and Work with Multi-Floor Projects

Design, align, and visualize multi-floor wireless networks, including inter-floor signal leakage and 3D heatmaps.

🏢 Step 1: Set Up the Building and Floors

  1. Prepare your floors:
    You should already have your building’s layouts for Floor 1, Floor 2, and Floor 3.

  2. Navigate to Floor 2 to begin configuration.


🧱 Step 2: Understand What’s Between Floors

  • Open the Layers menu to check for Floor and Ceiling layers.

  • If you’ve used the AI wall generator, a default Floor layer is created automatically:

    • Example: 7.87 inches of concrete with ~23 dB attenuation (between Floor 1 and Floor 2).

  • If no Ceiling exists, you can manually add one:

    1. Click Add Ceiling.

    2. Draw the ceiling.

    3. Set the material and thickness (e.g., 1 inch).

    4. Click Save.


📏 Step 3: Set Up Floor 3

  • Go to Floor 3 > Layers.

  • Ensure the Floor layer exists (e.g., 23 dB).

  • The Ceiling from Floor 2 will automatically be considered for Floor 3.


⚙️ Step 4: Enable Multi-Floor Mode

  1. Click on Multi-Floor and toggle Enable Multi-Floor.

  2. Set the base height (Z-coordinate) for each floor:

    • Floor 1: 0 ft

    • Floor 2: 12 ft

    • Floor 3: 24 ft

  3. Review alignment:

    • You’ll see the ceiling at 9.8 ft if added.

    • You can select floor cards and move them as needed for proper alignment.

    • Use the eye icon to hide/show floors for easier alignment.


🔍 Step 5: View Combined Heat Maps

  • After setup, your heatmap on Floor 3 will reflect signal leakage from Floors 1 and 2.

  • Use the Multi-Floor View to visualize all floors:

    • Select a specific AP to see its impact on all floors.

    • Without selecting, view combined heat maps.

  • Use the Layers panel to toggle floor visibility.


🛠️ Step 6: Adjust Attenuation and Recalculate

  • Modify floor/ceiling attenuation to simulate different materials:

    • Example: Increase attenuation on Floor 3 to reduce signal leakage from Floor 2.

    • Save changes to update the heatmap.


🚫 Step 7: Disable Multi-Floor

  • To remove inter-floor leakage:

    1. Go to Design.

    2. Uncheck Enable Multi-Floor.

    3. Close the view — only same-floor signal will remain.
