(I) How to start to draw a Room object

For each room in your floor plan create a new room object by click mouse and drag “Room” button on the left side of the windows into the view area.

After room object was placed into the view, you will need to double click on the room object to start edit the shape of the room.

Below are tips to edit shape of the room (in Room Edit mode):

+ Single click on a line wall and drag to move the wall position

+ Single click on an intersection point and drag to move the intersection point position

+ Double click on a line wall to add a new intersection point

+ Double click on an intersection point to remove the intersection point

+ Use mouse to drag an area to select lines (walls) within the selected area (the selected line background will turn red) then use controls on the top of the window to change line setting (width, dash, color…)

+ To change a straight line wall to curved wall and vice versa, select line (the line background will turn red) then right click mouse to show a action menu, from this menu choose appropriate menu item to convert to curved or straight wall.

+ If you want to disable wall (not drawing it): select the line then press “Delete” key

+ To copy properties of one wall to other walls: select the old wall, press “Cmd + C” en select other walls and press “Cmd + V”

+ To change text content inside of the room object: input new content into the “Text Editing dialog”.  ★Note: special text “%area%” is used to represent area size information

+ You could also fill the room with custom texture by using setting in “Text Editing dialog”

+ Use “Trim Wall” button on the top right of the window to draw a rectangle area to remove/trim all walls within that rectangle.

+ Click outside of the room object to quit Room Edit mode

 

(II) Add new line / polyline (Wall)

 

Create a new line (wall) by Click and drag “Wall” button on the left of the windows into the view.

Below are tips to wall line:

+ Use mouse to drag an area to select lines (walls) within the selected area (the selected line background will turn red) then use controls on the top of the window to change line setting (width, dash, color…)

+ Double click on a line wall to add a new intersection point or to break a line into two lines that attaches with each other

+ Double click on an intersection point to remove the intersection point

+ Single click on a single line wall and drag to move the line (wall) position (if this is a polyline wall, press Command or Alt or Ctrl key while dragging will move all polyline walls along)

+ Single click on an intersection point and drag to move the intersection point position

+ If you want to disable wall (not drawing it): select the line then set the “Line” check box on the top of the dialog to OFF

+ Use “Trim Wall” button on the top right of the window to draw a rectangle area to remove/trim all walls within that rectangle.

 

(III) Add Door / Stair to the room:

Select appropriate door, window or stair type from left tool bar then add it to the room that you created before.

To flip the direction of door / window (from inside door to outside door), double click on the door / window object

 

(IV) How to select multi objects:

Select multi objects is like in AutoCAD, please do as following:

+ drag mouse from left to right to select all object that lie totally inside the selected drag rectangle area.

+ drag mouse from right to left to select all object that is inside or cross the select rectangle area

 

(V) Export to image:

After designing, to export to image file, please press Cmd-E key to export to PDF, JPEG, PNG…

Note: When you design a large scale floor (example: “400 ft” × “400 ft”, please do as following to make the export process faster:

– Reduce length scale (example: in Preference dialog, set 1 feet = 1 to 10 pixel only)

– Export to PDF file (export to PDF is often faster than to JPEG or PNG…)

– If you want to export to JPEG image with large floor, please export with small zoom setting as following:
+ zoom the view to 20%
+ select menu “Export with current Zoom”

 

★Note:

To design a complex floor plan you should do as following:

– In the first Layer (named “Layer 1”) you add Room, wall, door, window, stair to it

– Create new Layers to add interior objects. By doing that when you edit interior objects, room, wall object will not be moved, resized accidently

– Add more layer to hold independence group of objects
