Floor Plan Wizard can be used to add booths to Max Layout, move them, delete them, migrate them between maps, and associate them with halls, pavilions, subexpos and custom booth fields.
Please plan carefully before adding, removing or relocating booths, as these may affect the successful use of your floorplan. These changes cannot be reversed easily, and may require re-importing if mistakes are introduced.

Starting Booth # * - Booth number to start the numbering scheme with.

- Alternating: each aisle has odd booths on one side (101, 103, 105) and even booths on the other (102, 104, 106)
- Sequential: each aisle has booths in order (100, 101, 102)
Starting Location X* - X coordinate of top left corner of the starting booth. This can be obtained from a DWG of the venue or by hovering the cursor on Floor Plan Wizard screen. (Example: if the hover over your starting point shows 1214,-5990, type in 1214)
Starting Location Y* - Y coordinate of top left corner of the starting booth. This value can be obtained from a DWG of the venue or by hovering the cursor on Floor Plan Wizard screen. It must be REVERSED, positive to negative or vice versa. (Example: if the hover over your starting point shows 1214,-5990, type in 5990)
