Trace a space from a floor plan
- Outline — “Edit rooms” has a third way to create a room: click along the walls corner by corner, and clicking the first point again makes the room. Every wall stays horizontal or vertical.
- Type a wall’s length — while tracing, type a number and press an arrow key to draw a wall of that length in that direction. You can enter a room wall by wall from your measurements without touching the mouse.
- Import a floor plan as an underlay — bring a plan image (PNG or JPG) into “Edit rooms”, then adjust its opacity, move it or hide it for a moment.
- Set the scale — click the two ends of a length you know on the underlay and type the real length; the image scales to the right size.
- The underlay is only for tracing — it never appears in the drawing or in exported files. It is saved with the project, so it is still there next time.
- An underlay counts towards your image library; convert a PDF floor plan to an image first.
