13. Click Yes in the confirmation dialog to save your changes and exit the Building Editor.
When saved, the building data is normally uploaded to the NEON Cloud Service and becomes
accessible to all users registered under the same subscription.
Note
However, if your subscription includes the option to create offline buildings, clicking Save for the
first time on a newly created building will open a prompt asking if you want to save the building as
Private (uploaded to your subscription) or Offline (not synced with the NEON Cloud). Once a
building has been flagged as offline, subsequent saves will automatically overwrite the locally
stored building data.
3-4 Offline Buildings (Optional Feature)
The optional offline building feature lets you export a building outline and associated floor plans from NEON
Command to a mapping package (.maps file) stored locally on your PC. This building data is not uploaded to
the NEON Cloud. Instead, you can upload the mapping package later to an Android device without using the
Cloud Service.
The offline building data may also be shared with users registered under the same or a different NEON
subscription by making the mapping package available to them for import into their NEON Command
application.
Export a Mapping Package
This function is available only if your NEON subscription has the optional offline building feature enabled
through TRX Systems.
1. After creating and editing a new building in NEON Command, click the Save icon in the Building Editor
toolbox.
2. Choose Offline in the Save Building dialog, then click Save. An offline building will show a red outline.
3. Select File > Export > Mapping Package to create a .maps file of the selected offline building on your local
PC.
Offline buildings are deleted from NEON Command when you log out of your account. To restore the building,
import the mapping package.
Import a Mapping Package into NEON Command
If an outline and floor plans already exist for your building in the form of a .maps file to which you have access,
you can load this mapping package into NEON Command instead of creating the building from scratch. Select
File > Import > Mapping Package and navigate to the desired file in the Explorer window Import Mapping Data.
Unlike exporting, importing mapping packages does not require the offline building option to be enabled. This
makes it easier to share building data with users under another NEON subscription where the feature is not
available.
Upload a Mapping Package to Android Device
1. Connect the Android device to your PC over USB.
2. Open the external device in Windows Explorer and create a folder named “TRXMaps” in the top level
directory.
