Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems for generating an image for a building management system are described herein. One device includes using a computing device to import floor plan objects from computer-aided design (CAD) drawings of a building and applying a design language associated with a building management system to the floor plan objects imported from the CAD drawings. Once the design language has been applied to the floor plan objects, an image of the building is generated for use in the building management system.
