Building Digital Twins with Raster Images and SVGs

Raster Image mode

In raster image mode, individual POIs can be mapped onto an image.

SVG mode

In SVG mapping mode, you can map device data directly to specific file layers in addition to custom Points of Interest (POIs). This mode is ideal if you already have a pre-processed SVG file (such as a floor plan or building layout).

File Structure Requirements

To ensure akenza correctly identifies your interactive layers, your SVG file must be structured using specific group (<g>) IDs. Use the following template as a guide:

<svg version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
    ...
    <g id="viewer">
    <g id="assets" fill="none">
      <path id="Floor2.Room1" d="" />
     ...
    </g>
  </g>
</svg>

How Device Mapping Works

• akenza automatically parses the distinct layers defined within the SVG.

• You can map devices to SVG layers based on static information, such as custom fields or device identifiers (e.g., matching the asset id in the SVG to a device name).

• Once mapped, devices can be filtered by tags to create partial views based on specific use cases (e.g., displaying only desks or only meeting rooms).
