Room and item labels

  • Name the plan or current room from the title field at the top of the editor.
  • Use room labels to identify enclosed spaces on a larger floor plan.
  • Rename furniture or fittings when the default library label is not specific enough.
  • Show or hide labels and measurements to create either a detailed working drawing or a cleaner presentation.

    Choose Text

    Select the text-box tool or press T, then place the box on the plan.

  2. 2

    Write the note

    Add installation notes, assumptions, option names or questions for a supplier.

Arrows
