Floor plans and overlays

It's now possible to stitch multiple drawings together to make a floor plan.

In addition to our recent drawing comparison feature, you can also now temporarily overlay drawings.

Floor plans, overlays and drawing comparisons are added from the tab, using the new controls in the sidebar.

To add floor plans, click under the Floor plan heading.

You can also drag and drop a drawing description to add it to the floor plan.

Because floor plans are designed to model a building in the real world, you can only add drawings from the same discipline.

When you move to another drawing in that floor plan, all drawings on that floor plan will appear in their respective places.

The floor plans can also be toggled on / off using the 3 dots beside the button.

Toggling off will hide the floor plans from view and make it easier to focus on your current drawing.

Overlays allow you to see different drawings on top of each other, which is helpful when you need to see how different services / disciplines interact.

For example, you could overlay a containment drawing on top of a lighting drawing and see the containment routes so you can easily measure lighting cables.

To add an overlay, click under the heading.

You can also drag and drop a drawing description to add it.

These overlays are temporary and can not be saved.
