1. The two image types

Tables currently supports two types of floor plan images for SmartReports:

Element image: The report element (here a room) is highlighted in colour in its immediate context.

Overview image: Shows the position of the element in the overall floor plan.

2. Adding a floor plan image

Add floor plan images via Project / Element Info. Under Select available fields from choose Element and filter for floor / grund:

After filtering for grund, the feature parameters Elementbild im Grundriss and Uebersichtsbild im Grundriss appear for selection.

3. Scaling the dummy image

Tables inserts a dummy image into the template. You can scale it freely in height and width. Tables uses the set height to scale the real image proportionally without distortion:

Dummy images in the template: left element image, right overview image. The set height of the dummy image determines the output size.

The dummy images can be freely resized in height and width. The real image is scaled proportionally to the set height.

4. Result in the finished report

Finished report page: left element image with room highlighted in red, right overview image showing the position in the overall floor plan.

5. Configuring settings

The properties of the temporarily generated floor plans can be configured via the Tables Settings dialog. These settings are saved directly in the Excel workbook:

Under Tables Settings - Revit: configure the view template for the floor plan, BoundingBox offset (mm), filled region type (marker colour), and crop region (overview image only).
