+0.00m / STUDIO

Mapnyx Studio

The workspace behind every venue. Plans come in, structure goes on, geometry gets drawn over the real site, the navigation graph is checked before anyone can publish it — and what ships is a numbered package, not a file somebody overwrote.

What follows is the product as it stands, read off the shipping build. Where Studio is candid about a limit, so is this page.

+0.00m / ESTATE

Every venue in one workspace

Studio opens on the estate, not on a blank canvas. Each venue carries its own state, structure and history, so an operator running six shows and a stadium sees where each one stands without opening anything.

The Mapnyx Studio venue list: a search field, folders, an import action, filters by venue type, and cards for each venue showing its floor-plan thumbnail, published or demo state, building and floor counts and when it was last edited.
Studio · the whole estate in one workspace

On every venue card

  • Its floor-plan thumbnail, so you recognise it before you read it
  • Published, draft or demo, shown as a badge
  • Building and floor counts
  • When it was last edited, and by implication whether anyone is on it

Across the estate

  • Search across venues, and group them into folders
  • Filter by venue type — exhibition and convention, stadium, and the rest
  • Import a venue rather than starting from an empty floor
  • Switch between a grid of thumbnails and a dense list

+0.00m / VENUE RECORD

The venue is a record, not a drawing

Before any geometry exists, a venue is a row with an identity: a name, a short code, a public slug and a type. Everything downstream — the portal URL, the QR code, the embed, the analytics — hangs off that identity, which is why it survives a re-plan.

The public path is the slug plus a token, and the same path backs the portal, the QR code and the embed. One identity, three ways in.

Identity

  • Name, short code and the public slug the portal is served from
  • Venue type, which selects how the venue is presented
  • Published or draft status
  • Building and floor counts, kept in step with the structure beneath

Presentation

  • A description, and a venue image for listings and link previews
  • Created and last-updated timestamps on the record itself

+3.00m / STRUCTURE

Campus, building, floor

A venue is a hierarchy before it is a map. Floors belong to buildings, buildings to a campus, and each level knows where it sits vertically — which is what makes multi-floor routing possible at all.

The floors tab of a venue: a card per floor with its plan thumbnail, level number, building, published state, place count and last edit, alongside actions to import a floor or add an empty one.
Floors · level, building, state and place count

Per floor

  • A level number and the building it belongs to
  • Its own published state, independent of its neighbours
  • Its own place count
  • Its own last edit

Getting floors in

  • Import a floor from an existing plan
  • Or add an empty floor and draw it
  • Real-world floor dimensions, so distances and walk times mean something
  • Georeference the indoor plan to the site's actual latitude and longitude

+3.00m / EDITOR

Drawn over the real site

The editor puts the plan on the map it actually occupies, with a streets or satellite basemap underneath. A booth is not a rectangle floating in space; it is a rectangle at a place on the earth, which is what lets an outdoor route hand over to an indoor one.

The Mapnyx Studio editor: an exhibition venue drawn over its real site with hall and booth polygons, colour-coded zones, walkways, a parking boundary and a pin on every point of interest, with the drawing toolbar down the left and a streets or satellite basemap toggle.
Editor · the venue drawn on the real site

The object palette

  • Rectangle, polygon and circle for spaces
  • Wall for structure
  • POI for anything a visitor might search
  • Map banner, text and icon for labelling

Precision

  • Grid, vertex and angle snapping with alignment guides
  • Wall split, extend, trim, merge and offset
  • Polygon holes for courtyards and voids
  • Undo and redo, keyboard shortcuts, layer management
  • An object inspector, with lock and opacity per object

Without leaving the canvas

  • Switch building and floor from the top bar
  • Toggle the basemap between streets and satellite
  • Jump straight to the visitor preview

+3.00m / AI MAPPING

It draws only what you tick

AI mapping starts from a venue preset and a set of checkboxes, and the dialog says plainly what it is about to do. Nothing is proposed that you did not ask for, and nothing published that a person did not accept.

An unreviewed proposal is one of the things that holds back a publish. Acceptance is a gate in the product, not a setting someone can turn off.

The AI Mapping dialog: venue presets for exhibition, conference, mall or structure-only, then checkboxes for walls, doors and gates, windows, booths, rooms, halls and corridors, with buttons to run on the current floor, the empty floors or all floors, and to delete previous AI results.
AI mapping · it draws only what you tick

Presets

  • Exhibition — stands, aisles, halls, gates and safety
  • Conference — rooms, halls and circulation
  • Mall or retail — units, concourse and verticals
  • Structure only — shell and openings, no spaces

What it may draw

  • Structure: walls and service cores, doors and gates
  • Windows, offered but flagged in the product as rarely reliable on a raster plan
  • Spaces: booths and stands, rooms, hall and pavilion envelopes, corridors and aisles

Scope and undo

  • Run on the current floor, only the empty floors, or all of them
  • Delete a whole AI run without touching anything drawn by hand
  • Accept, reject, split, merge, refine or redraw any single proposal
  • Confidence levels flag what needs a closer look

+6.00m / PRESENTATION

How the map opens, per venue

Two venues of the same type rarely want the same first view. Studio sets the opening camera per venue — the angle, the tilt and how close — so a visitor lands looking at the thing the organiser wants them to see.

First-open camera

  • Bearing: the rotation the portal opens at, or empty to keep each floor screen-straight
  • Pitch: the tilt, from flat top-down to an oblique view
  • Zoom: how close the first view sits, or empty to fit the whole floor
  • Applied to every floor of the venue, so the experience is consistent

Placement

  • Latitude and longitude for the venue itself
  • An outdoor campus zoom, separate from the indoor first-open
  • Indoor footprint width in metres, which sets how the plan sits on the campus map

Branding

  • Portal primary and accent colours, per venue
  • Its own favicon
  • A venue profile that changes presentation without touching the geometry
  • A navigator map theme to match the venue type
  • Featured places, to put the handful that matter at the top of search

+6.00m / PREVIEW

Walk it before anyone else does

Preview is the visitor experience, not an approximation of it — the same search, the same place pins, the same floor switcher, running on the draft. It says plainly at the top that draft updates are live, so nobody confuses it with what is published.

The Mapnyx visitor portal in preview: a search field for booths and entrances, numbered exhibitor stands laid out in the hall, conference rooms, a start-up booth, registration desks and parking, a floor switcher, and a count of the places on the floor.
Portal preview · exactly what a visitor will open

What a visitor gets

  • Search across booths, exhibitors, entrances and amenities
  • Place pins on every point of interest, categorised
  • A floor switcher, and a count of the places on the floor
  • Map controls: rotate, zoom, locate, fullscreen, and a 2D / 3D toggle

+9.00m / PUBLISH HEALTH

Checks that name the fix

Publishing runs in three passes — mapping, navigation, then publish — and each warning names the tool that resolves it instead of leaving an operator to guess. Readiness is a percentage, and a graph that cannot route says so in those words.

What gets checked

  • Geometry, and places sitting inside their floors
  • Places named and categorised
  • Navigation nodes and edges, and whether the graph is connected
  • Place-to-corridor links
  • Routes crossing walls, or cutting through booths and rooms
  • AI proposals still unreviewed

What a warning says

  • Disconnected corridor components — with auto-build offered to bridge the halls
  • Places not linked to the corridor graph — with auto-build or an entrance sync offered
  • Halls joined without a door, and unexpected splits in a multi-floor graph
  • Preview and published map drifting out of step
  • Live counts of confirmed places, navigation nodes with corridor nodes called out, and edges

+9.00m / PUBLISH

A numbered revision, then the edge

Publishing is deliberate and versioned. Each publish is a revision with its own upload record, and the cache warm afterwards reports its result rather than assuming it worked.

In the package

  • Campus, buildings and floors
  • Places and the search index
  • The navigation graph
  • Media

Delivery

  • Optional edge delivery of the package and viewer assets through object storage and a CDN
  • An upload history per venue: revision, what triggered it, the result and whether the purge succeeded
  • A cache warm step that reports how many critical URLs were warmed
  • Turn edge delivery off and the venue falls back to serving from origin, without republishing

+12.00m / SHARE

Four ways in, issued per venue

Every venue gets its own set of links rather than a single URL somebody has to decorate by hand.

The same visitor portal tilted into its 3D view, with the map controls visible: rotate, fullscreen, locate, zoom and a 2D/3D toggle.
Portal · 2D and 3D on the same venue

The links

  • A portal URL for visitors
  • A navigator URL
  • A QR code URL for print and signage
  • An embed URL, plus a copy-and-paste snippet with geolocation and fullscreen already permitted on the frame

And

  • A tokenised link, so a venue can be handed to someone before it is public
  • Its own portal favicon
  • Kiosk mode and an installable web app on the same venue

+15.00m / ANALYTICS

Six reports, not a dashboard to interpret

Operational analytics for running a venue — stated plainly as that, rather than sold as a BI suite. The useful number is usually the one nobody asks for: the searches that returned nothing.

The Mapnyx analytics overview: visitors, sessions, place views and average session duration with sparklines and change figures, then unique visitors, searches and new against returning visitors, and beneath them the most viewed venues and most viewed places.
Analytics · the overview, with the leaderboards beneath

The reports

  • Overview — visitors, sessions, place views, average session duration, unique and new against returning, each with a trend
  • Visitors — who opened the venue, how many sessions each had, and a live online-now count
  • Sessions — what happened inside a visit
  • Place views — what drew attention
  • Place searches — the query itself, not just the count
  • Routing — every route request as a from and to pair against its session

Controls

  • Today, yesterday, 7, 30 or 90 days, this month, or a custom range
  • One venue or the whole estate
  • Export, and filters on top
  • Most-viewed venues and most-viewed places, ranked

+18.00m / TENANCY

Built to run other people's venues

Studio assumes you are an operator or an agency, not a single building. Customers, teams and venue workspaces are first-class, so one account can run an estate or a client list.

The visitors report: total visitors and a live online-now count, then a table of visitors with their session count, the venue they opened and the last page they saw.
Visitors · who opened the venue, and how often

Tenancy

  • Customer accounts, each with their own venue workspaces
  • Teams and operator access
  • Branded sign-in
  • Customer-specific venue data kept apart

+0.00m / EXIT

Send us a plan and we will build the venue

DXF, DWG, PDF, SVG — or a photo of a printed plan. We will structure it, draw it, check the graph and walk you through the result on a real link.
