# How do I load a graphical map into the TauREX Software?

See video demonstration:

<iframe width="200" height="113" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/CiFaGLEGbQU?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen style="position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 100%; height: 100%; border: none;"></iframe>

 

Or follow these steps.

1)   Click the tab page tabbed with the![pencil icon](https://knowledgebase.hyfirewireless.com/hs-fs/hubfs/pencil%20icon.png?width=21&name=pencil%20icon.png)icon.

2)   Click the ![squared icon](https://knowledgebase.hyfirewireless.com/hs-fs/hubfs/squared%20icon.png?width=25&name=squared%20icon.png)icon.

The “Floors” editor window appears:

![Faq Taurus 4](https://knowledgebase.hyfirewireless.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Faq%20Taurus%204.png?width=601&name=Faq%20Taurus%204.png)

-   Edit the “Description” field to change the name of the floor (e.g. first floor, basement and so on).

-   Click the ![small plus icon](https://knowledgebase.hyfirewireless.com/hs-fs/hubfs/small%20plus%20icon.png?width=27&name=small%20plus%20icon.png)icon in the “Background” area to import a floor plan image to be superimposed over the virtual floor.

-   Click the ![small minus icon](https://knowledgebase.hyfirewireless.com/hs-fs/hubfs/small%20minus%20icon.png?width=27&name=small%20minus%20icon.png) icon in the “Background” area to cancel the imported floor plan image.

-   Click the ![plus icon](https://knowledgebase.hyfirewireless.com/hs-fs/hubfs/plus%20icon.png?width=26&name=plus%20icon.png) icon to add a new virtual floor to the floor list (leftmost panel).

-   Click the![minus icon](https://knowledgebase.hyfirewireless.com/hs-fs/hubfs/minus%20icon.png?width=26&name=minus%20icon.png)icon to cancel the selected virtual floor; you will be requested for confirmation.

-   **Apply**: saves the changes made.

-   **Cancel**: cancels the changes made; you will be asked for confirmation.

Close the window when finished.

Floor editing produces results like the example:

![Faq Taurus 5](https://knowledgebase.hyfirewireless.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Faq%20Taurus%205.png?width=688&name=Faq%20Taurus%205.png)above the central panel of the![pencil icon](https://knowledgebase.hyfirewireless.com/hs-fs/hubfs/pencil%20icon.png?width=21&name=pencil%20icon.png)page you have two selectable tab pages, each of them representing a floor in the installation site; you can now place the virtual devices onto them.
