Troubleshoot - Floor Plan View

There are multiple reasons why a user may not be able to view floor plans.  The suggestions below are ordered by the most common issue to least common issue.  Try to access floor plans after the completion of each suggestion, before moving on to the next suggestion.

Issue 1 - Operating System

Make sure you are using Internet Explorer on a PC.  If using a Mac, make sure you are using Internet Explorer running on a Windows Virtual Machine.

Issue 2 - Viewer Plug-in

Make sure you installed the floor plan viewer plug-in (http://www.uta.edu/campus-ops/facilities/space-inventory/setupinstruct.php)

Issue 3 - Browser Add-on

If your floor plan screen is blank, except for a red X in the upper left hand corner of the floor plan screen, then look for the following message just above the UTA logo:

"This website wants to run the following add-on"Autodesk Design Review" from "Autodesk, Inc.". If you trust the website and the add-on and want to allow it to run, click here. . . ."

Click on this message and select "allow add-on". Then log out of the website and then log back in before trying to view another floor plan.
