Limits

To keep the online version fast and fair for everyone, each organisation’s workspace has limits.

WhatLimit
Offices per workspace10
Floors per office20
Size of one uploaded file25 MB
Storage per workspace (all plans and files together)500 MB
People per workspace (members and open invitations)25

The limits above apply to the whole organisation, not to each person. There are also limits per person, to keep the map service fair for everyone:

WhatLimit per person
Requests to Places Builder120 per minute
Map images (tiles)2000 per hour

These are far above normal use. Panning and zooming a lot on the map in the alignment step uses the most tiles. All limits can change during the pilot.

What happens when you reach a limit

Places Builder tells you which limit it is and does not save the change. Nothing that already exists is removed.

  • Too many offices or floors: remove one you no longer need, or ask your workspace owner whether it is still needed.
  • A file is too large: reduce the size of the floor plan (for example export the PDF at a lower image quality) and upload it again.
  • Too many requests or map images: wait a minute (or up to an hour for map images) and try again. Parts of the map stay blank until then.
  • Storage is full: delete a floor plan or an office you no longer use. Replacing a plan with a new version does not count twice.

If you run Places Builder yourself, these limits are off unless you set them.
