Adding doors & cylinders to floorplans
Once doors have been added to the lockchart as the first step and then linked with cylinders as second step floorplans can be used to visualize them.
To add a door with associated cylinder to the floorplan users drag and drop cylinder (by clicking on it's name bar) onto the lockchart.
There are 2 different ways that doors / cylinders / keys are displayed on the floorplan.

Users can interact with floorplans by clicking on the dots and checking on the lockchart (grid / fluvial view) which cylinder and key(s) are connected with that door.
