General rules

For the site to correctly analyze your plan and deduce the sectors present, your SVG plan must respect the following conventions:

  • A single line for walls (do not draw thickness)
  • One segment corresponds to one sector
  • To draw a continuous wall with several sectors, you can join several segments together.
  • No elements other than the plan
  • Export in standard SVG without non-standard elements
  • No need to adjust page size according to plan content

Example with Inkscape

If you don't know how to draw the plan according to the above conventions, you can use the free Inkscape software. This section describes exactly how to draw such a plan with this software (version 1.4.2).

You don't know how to use Inkscape

  1. We advise you to display the grid for easier drawing with #
  2. We'll use the pen tool (B)
  3. To create a segment, we click somewhere on the drawing area; to add a point, we press somewhere else. Once the segment is complete, we press enter
  4. We quit the pen tool with S and by clicking where you want on the area.
  5. To add another sector, simply repeat step 2 to 4
  6. Export your map with Shift+Ctrl+e : Select Plan SVG (but not Inkscape SVG !)
  7. Your map is ready

You know how to use Inkscape

  • Draw path like you want. The fill and stroke color don't have importance and will be replaced by TopoClimb. Remember that a path = a sector !
  • Export in Plain SVG
