The planner toolbar

The 2D toolbar consists of 8 tools and, from top to bottom, they are illustrated in the following paragraphs.

Layers

This tool allows you to independently manage specific "layers" (or types) of elements. The layers that can be managed are:

• Base units (for example base cabinets)
• Wall items (for example doors or windows)
• Wall units (for example wall cabinets)
• Walls
• Floor
• Ceiling

For each of them, you can decide whether:

• showing or hiding that type of element by clicking on the eye icon (for example, hiding all the base units),

• locking or unlocking it by clicking on the lock icon (for example, locking wall items).
  

To read more about this tool, see The layers tool in 2D view article.

Enable/disable magic links

Magic links manage article positioning beyond the standard positioning. They allow to override the standard alignment directions defined in the catalog.

Example: Magic links are useful for corner base cabinets that require customized links to the adjacent article.

Note: This tool is common to both 3D and 2D views and is enabled by default.

Substitute new item

It allows you to substitute a new article to an article already positioned in the scene, instead of inserting it in the composition as an additional one. To substitute an article:

1. Enable the tool.

2. Select the article you want to be substituted with the new one.

3. Click on the new article. It is automatically substituted for the selected one at point 2.

Note: This tool is common to both 3D and 2D views.

Select new origin

This tool allows you to move the point of origin of the planner to a new point by selecting it with the red dot that appears when enabling the tool.

Measure distance

This tool works as a ruler and allows you to draw measuring lines both on the sides of the articles and detached from them. To measure elements, select the tool then left-click and hold while dragging the cursor on the scene.

Map 2D

This tool allows you to upload images, for example, planimetries, to position under the articles. When clicking on the tool, it is possible to complete 3 actions:

• Upload image

• Toggle map: it allows you to view or hide the image,

• Image scale: it allows you to rescale the image by defining the scale factor.

Undo

You undo the last action.
