Zone Drawing Mode

Open

Zones are created by entering the Zone Drawing-Mode using the Left Toolbar create zone button or ⌨ Z keyboard shortcut.

Zones can be drawn in several different ways through the Rectangle or Line Sub-Modes.

Open

Click the Sub-Mode button on the drawing-mode guide-box or use the ⌨ Tilde ` key to toggle between Sub-Modes as required for each room.

Rectangle Sub-Mode

Left-Click to begin creating a zone.

The next Left-Click will finish zone creation.

Alternatively enter Manual Dimensions by typing the width and depth of the zone in millimetres and hit enter to create.

Right-click will reset the first point's location and a 2nd right-click (or the Escape key) will exit the drawing mode.

Line Sub-Mode

Left-Click each point of the Zone.

Complete the Zone by Double Left-Click on the last created point of the zone, or click back at the origin.

You may hold ⌨ Shift to draw lines in straight or directions.

Right-Click to remove points, and if all points have been removed, a subsequent Right-Click will exit Zone Drawing-Mode.

When drawing Zones, the will Snap to existing aligned points of previously created Zones, as well as to points on adjacent levels close to the click location. The Snap-Lines are visually shown while in zone drawing-mode projecting out from the aligned point. If you would like to override a aligned Snap Point, zoom in further which will reduce the snap distance.

When a Zone is created, all lines drawn will become Walls, and a single Floor & Ceiling encompassing the shape will be created. If there are any adjacent Walls near the new Zone, Walls may be Split and connected automatically to these. Likewise any Zones on adjacent levels will cause the Floors & Ceilings to Split automatically and connect to these adjacent Floors and Ceilings.
