====Placing Assets in 2D====

The **location** of your assets is often very poorly documented - ARDI gives you several ways to specify the location so that you won't have trouble finding them in the future.

===Using the Map===

1) **Open the map**. The easiest way to do this is to select the environment that your asst is in from the [[ardiuserguide:find_assets|find assets]] page.

2) **Find the floor**. Choose the floor that this asset is on (if you only have a single floor, this won't be required)

3) **Place the asset**. //Right click// on the position where you'd like to place your asset. A popup will appear that allows you to search for the name/equipment reference number etc. for the asset you're placing. Once you select the asset from the list, it will be placed in the location you clicked.

4) **Set the size**.  Finally, adjust the size by moving the mouse (you will see the red dot indication the location of your asset expand and contract as you do) and click to confirm.
