# Add and View Doors on Floor Plans

The ability to view the state of your building security all in one place is at the core of Verkada’s vision, and our **Floorplans** feature gives this level of visibility.

From one view, customers can see all of their cameras, sensors, and access-controlled doors.

## Add a door to an existing floor plan

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**In Verkada Command, go to All Products > Access.**
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Select your door that you want to add.**
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**At the top right, click Add, select the door icon, and drag and drop it to the desired door on the floor plan.**
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Rotate, flip, and size the door to fit your needs.**
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Click Save Changes > Save when you’re finished.**
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
There is also an option to select **Double Door** if the door you’re controlling is a double door.
{% endhint %}

## View the state of the door

Click the **door** icon to see the state of the door, the associated Verkada camera, and some metadata corresponding to the door.

You can also see the state of the Door Position Indicator (DPI), the type of door, and its status.

When the Door Events icon ![](/files/k2JZH312j5NjY21UMPvf)is pressed, each door unlock triggers an animation of an unlocked icon as the door opens. This animation appears across the entire floor plan for all doors, regardless of whether a specific door is selected. This provides a bird’s-eye view of traffic flow throughout the floor.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## 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://help.verkada.com/access-control/configuration/configure-a-door-in-command/add-and-view-doors-on-floor-plans.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.
