Build a floor plan in Arcade Planner

These instructions describe FECForge 1.32.35. If a control is missing, check your role and installed version before continuing.

1. Prepare your account and source information

   Open Arcade Planner from the launcher. Have measured room/cabinet dimensions and a copy of any plan you will change. Use an account with module access.

1. Create or open a plan

   Name the plan for the venue area or proposed revision so saved files and exports remain identifiable.

2. Open Settings

   Enter the room measurements and relevant physical constraints before placing equipment.

3. Draw and finish walls

   Choose Wall, then click each corner or endpoint. Click Finish wall to keep the segments you placed: the wall does not need to form a closed room. To close a room, click its first point. Enter, Esc, right-click, or a double-click at the final point also finish.

4. Correct a point or enter exact dimensions

   Use Undo point (or Backspace) to remove the last point without losing the rest. In the Length and Angle fields, Enter or Place segment adds that exact segment; Esc finishes the already placed wall. Cancel drawing discards the unfinished wall, not your existing plan. Finish the wall before saving or leaving the module.

5. Review the game and fixture library

   Add accurate cabinet dimensions and assign useful game types so the asset list can be filtered during layout work.

1. Place games and fixtures

   Drag items from the asset panel onto the workspace, then use the properties panel for exact position, rotation, and dimensions.

2. Use zones and utilities

   Mark operational areas and utility relationships that need to remain understandable when the plan is reviewed away from the venue.

3. Check collisions and clearances

   Resolve overlaps and service-space problems before treating the plan as installation-ready.

4. Save and export

   Save the editable plan, then export the report or PDF needed for installers, ownership, or vendors.

1. Reopen the saved plan.

   Its room size and placed assets should match your edits. Open the PDF and check the scale and labels before sharing it.

2. If the result is not what you expected

   If an edit is wrong, use Undo before leaving the session. Keep the editable plan as well as its PDF; a PDF is not an editable backup. Do not treat collision warnings as a building-code or accessibility approval.
