Spaces Module to support moving multiple Shape Polylines


Released August 21st

When you select a shape polyline or multiple shape polylines you will be able to move the shape.

Remember if you are using the Floorplan Importer do not edit shapes as this will interfere with the floor's ability to be exported and imported from AutoCAD in the future.

For more details, refer to Move a Shape's Points.

Scenario Planner to Synchronize Changes for Space Name and Shape Data


Released August 21st

When running a Sync from Live the outcome of the sync process will differ depending on the situation (see Synchronize Plan Outcomes). There are only two occurrences where Scenario Planner will always synchronize data into the scenario plan, regardless of changes that have been made.

They are:

  • Space Name Changes - If the name of a space is changed in VBS Live, when a Sync from Live is kicked off the scenario plan will be updated to reflect the new name of that space
  • Shape Data Changes - If the shape or physical location of a space is changed in VBS Live those changes will also be brought into the scenario plan.

For example, in a minor refit, the physical size of a meeting room might shrink from an 8 seat room to a 4 seat room. When the mapping changes are completed in Serraview (either through Spaces or Floorplan Importer) after a Sync from Live has been completed all scenario plans will be updated to reflect those changes that have happened in VBS Live.

For more details, refer to Synchronize Phase from the Live VBS.
