Visual-FM provides a highly productive method for creating accurate floor plans through digitizing or precision input. Features include automatic area calculation without polylines, data validation, easy maintenance, and a wide variety of query, display, plot and print capabilities. Each room on the floor plan is a unique graphic entity with associated, relevant information such as room number, use, assignment and area. Visual-FM LT ensures that the production database and floor plans are not modified. All information from the floor plan is available for display and local output, as is space-related data elements from other databases.
Users can create, place and query locally developed symbols and data unique to their own needs.
When a floor plan is replaced by a newer, updated one, locally created items are not affected. Powerful ad-hoc graphic queries give a new dimension to facilities information. Through pull-down menus and a mouse, users calculate areas, view departmental allocations, and produce colorful displays of architectural uses. This comprehensive application provides a detailed inventory of fixed and moveable equipment, and tracks their locations. This is a very powerful set of tools to aid in the equipment re-inventory process.
