Point

Each <wire>-element has one <point>-element for each point that makes up the wire.

Attribute Description
x The horizontal position of the point relatively to the center of the floor, in meters, as a floating point number.
y The vertical position of the corner relatively to the center of the floor, in meters, as a floating point number.
First, Last

The elements <first> and/or <last> are only present if the first/last points of the wire are attached to an anchor.

Each <wire>-element has one <point>-element for each point that makes up the wire.

Attribute Description
type The type of anchor the wire point is attached to. point-room: the wire is attached to a corner of the room point-wallitem: the wire is attached to a point on a wall item point-furniture: the wire is attached to a point on a piece of furniture segment-room: the wire is attached to a wall of the room segment-wallitem: the wire is attached to a segment on a wall item segment-furniture: the wire is attached to a segment on a piece of furniture
tag The tag of the anchor the wire point is attached to. Tags are custom values that can be defined to restrict which anchors. Predefined values include: electrical: the wire conducts electricity plumbing: the pipe carries water
