Floory

Floory is a fictional open-source platform designed for modeling, analyzing, and visualizing indoor floor plans and multi-level spaces. Intended for architects, facility managers, and robotics developers, Floory combines a flexible data model with real-time rendering and extensible toolchains to support planning and navigation tasks.

The core data model represents levels, spaces (rooms, corridors), connections (doors, stairs), and attributes such as area, occupancy, and accessibility tags. It supports geometric editing, semantic labeling, and constraints that enable automated routing and utilization analysis across levels.

Floory provides a 2D and 3D editing environment, a plugin API, and interoperability with common floorplan and BIM formats. It can import DXF, SVG, and IFC data, import metadata from project management systems, and export floorplans for printing, visualization, or integration with other software. It also can generate navigation meshes and AR-ready overlays for indoor positioning.

Development and licensing: Floory began as a research prototype in an academic setting and evolved into a community-driven project. It is released under a permissive license to encourage collaboration, with a modular architecture that supports extensions for occupancy simulation, energy analysis, accessibility checks, and asset management.

Applications and reception: In education and industry, Floory is used for rapid prototyping of layouts, facility management workflows, and robotics or AR navigation experiments. The project maintains a small but active community, offering tutorials, issue trackers, and discussion forums.
