I know I am probably missing something obvious but I'm a new user (that loves the tool) and I can not figure out how to use site plans or building plans (usually in pdf format) instead of using the Google Earth based on the address. I often need to do fairly detailed inter layouts.

Hello David:

The button to import floor plans in the calculator looks like this:

From there, you import and scale your file right into the calculator. Here's a short video of that process FYI:

For correct scaling, the key is knowing the true distance of scaled features on the plan, like a 3' doorway or 8' hallway or something similar.

You adjust the green line and type in that known length, and you end up with a scaled floorplan in the calculator!
