6. Click on **"Save" \[P]**

   ▷ The process completes successfully. You have added an elevator/stair and return to the floor view.

## Linking elements through a path node

To connect different elements such as destinations, elevators, stairs, or paths with one another, path nodes can be created. These nodes enable a flexible and precise connection between the individual elements. There are two methods for creating these nodes:

**Method 1: Drag and drop**

1. **Select path element:**\
   Drag the path element <img src="https://content.gitbook.com/content/Nyvwhz1kEMXcHf4HLuZ8/blobs/LYgm2wDJBrJk6fJxHywJ/image.png" alt="" data-size="line"> from **\[G]** onto the floor via drag and drop.
2. **Place node:**\
   Place the path element at the desired location on the floor. This node acts as an intermediate point and connects different destinations with one another.

**Method 2: Direct click on an element**

1. **Select element:**\
   Click on an element already placed on the floor, whether it is a destination, a path, an elevator, or a stair.
2. **Create node:**\
   After you click on the element, blue dots appear around the element. These dots represent possible nodes. ![](https://content.gitbook.com/content/Nyvwhz1kEMXcHf4HLuZ8/blobs/ZFx2MPdKsOkNURgq56cV/Frame%20427318774.png)![](https://content.gitbook.com/content/Nyvwhz1kEMXcHf4HLuZ8/blobs/lvRN7cYbt2JuMVgLPNfe/Aufzug%20Hinzuf%C3%BCgen%20\(2\).png)![](https://content.gitbook.com/content/Nyvwhz1kEMXcHf4HLuZ8/blobs/4QOTIcppH4dDOqg25ITZ/Aufzug%20Hinzuf%C3%BCgen%20\(3\).png)![](https://content.gitbook.com/content/Nyvwhz1kEMXcHf4HLuZ8/blobs/qnxZBsvxnglcpatLrFof/Aufzug%20Hinzuf%C3%BCgen%20\(5\).png)
3. **Move node:**\
   Click on one of the blue dots and drag it to the desired location. Hold the node in the mouse while doing so. Release it to create the node at the desired position. ![](https://content.gitbook.com/content/Nyvwhz1kEMXcHf4HLuZ8/blobs/ugT0xUVsruynwDLIdPXZ/Aufzug%20Hinzuf%C3%BCgen%20\(7\).png)
4. **Create connection between elements:**\
   To create a connection between two elements, drag the node from one element to another and release it on the second element. This creates a direct connection between the two elements. ![](https://content.gitbook.com/content/Nyvwhz1kEMXcHf4HLuZ8/blobs/uYFOECAhCSNyD71nULaL/Aufzug%20Hinzuf%C3%BCgen%20\(8\).png)

## Edit elements

In the wayfinding system, you can edit placed elements both directly on the floor plan and in the element list on the right under the element types **\[G]** edit. Here is how you can edit or delete elements:

<figure><img src="https://content.gitbook.com/content/Nyvwhz1kEMXcHf4HLuZ8/blobs/Fz5zMlWCWPqoz0EgNw87/image.png" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**Select element:**

* You can either click an element directly on the floor plan or select it from the list on the right under the element types **\[G]** The selected element is highlighted to make it clear which element you are currently editing.

**Edit element:**

* To edit an element, click the **pencil icon**. <img src="https://content.gitbook.com/content/Nyvwhz1kEMXcHf4HLuZ8/blobs/bOzeqKWVVAETPTjm3jLx/image.png" alt="" data-size="line"> This opens the same window that was used when creating the element. Here you can change all previously made settings, such as the name of the element, the assigned asset, or the group it is assigned to.

**Delete element:**

* If you want to remove an element, click the **trash icon**. <img src="https://content.gitbook.com/content/Nyvwhz1kEMXcHf4HLuZ8/blobs/7VFx0t2uTn4pf9MPIxBm/image.png" alt="" data-size="line">The element is then deleted and removed from both the list and the floor plan.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.buildings.ability.abb/collection/english-v14/documentation/wayfinding/ein-wayfinding-stockwerk-konfigurieren.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
