Abstract: Aspects described herein include a computer-implemented method of generating a floor plan for use by a plurality of mobile drive units within an inventory system. The method comprises defining a grid according to predefined grid rules, placing inventory station blocks, placing predefined travel blocks, and placing predefined storage blocks. Predefined connection rules specify which faces of the different predefined blocks are permitted to connect. The method further comprises outputting a map representing the floor plan. The map comprises location information for fiducial markers corresponding to the predefined blocks.
