      Overview of the Map Editor

      What Does the Map Editor Do?

      The Map Editor allows you to make certain changes to your interactive floorplan, such as adding, editing, and deleting booths. You'll make and save these changes via two toolboxes available inside the Map Editor.

      On top of allowing you to add or delete booths, the Map Editor allows you to resize, rotate or split booths and enable a grid to help you place your booths.

      You can also assign/change booth numbers, assign/change booth types for booths, add a red X to a booth, change a booth number's font size, set a booth to be purchasable/unpurchaseable, set a custom discount for a booth, or create a reservation code for a booth.

      Toolboxes

      Each toolbox makes different kinds of changes to your booth or to the map:

      • Drawing Tools� add booths and make changes to a booth's physical properties. 
      • Edit Booth Details� make changes to a booth's information, such as its booth type and assigned exhibitor.
