When You Need This

Use this feature when you want to visually represent assets, structures, or items—such as power sources, tents, or frame sets—on your event map. SVG files make maps more accurate and easier for your team, vendors, or clients to understand.

Steps

Adding SVG Files

Click the Draw button – Opens the panel with areas and available SVG files.
Search or browse for an SVG – For example, search Electrical to find icons for power sources.
Click on an SVG file – The asset will be placed onto your map.
Drag to position – Move the SVG into the correct spot on your map.

Customizing SVGs

Resize: Click the SVG and adjust its dimensions (e.g., make a frame tent 6x21m).
Rotate: Use the rotation handle to align the asset correctly.
Duplicate: Select the SVG and click Duplicate to create a copy.
Change color: Adjust the color to match your event’s coding system.

Organizing Names

Update names: Rename each SVG (e.g., "Main Power – East Side") so your map stays clear and organized.
Why it matters: Updated names appear in the Areas/Assets list, preventing confusion when multiple identical SVGs are used (such as several frame tents).

✅ Success Indicator: The SVG appears in the correct spot, sized and rotated properly, with a clear name visible in your asset list.
