Areas and forms

Areas define walls or roofs. Cutouts are sub-areas that are subtracted from the whole area for example windows or doors. They can be drawn within the whole area and not further than the edge.

Areas, as well as cutouts, can be divided into rectangular or free forms.

Rectangular

Rectangular areas can either be chosen in the drawing mode with one click or by drawing up in the image. The perpendicular angles always refer to the direction of the calibration.

Once a corner point is edited, the neighboring corner points direct according to the perpendicular angles. Furthermore, orientation lines that are the original connecting lines will be shown while editing a corner point.

Free form

Within this mode, you can draw free forms onto the image. Just click on a free spot and a point will be added to the form. One click on an existing point deletes it. If only 3 points should exist in the area, you wouldn't be able to delete points anymore. If a point is moved, orthogonally orientation lines will show up that cross-neighboring points. The last moved point can be placed more accurately with the zoom function again.

In addition to texts, lines are one of the two drawings that do not require calibration. You can draw the line with a pull-up movement. If you edit the name of the line, it will also be shown in the picture next to the line.

The function of the reference line is to measure distances. After successful calibration, you can draw it onto the image like a regular line. However, it does not show the name next to the line, but its calculated length.

When editing the picture, once again orientation lines that cross the selected finishing point in either 90° or 45 ° angles to the layer will show up.

Text can be placed onto the image with one click. Next, a dialog window will pop where you can enter and edit the text. Another option is to edit the text in the table section “name”.

In the editing mode, you can edit the position of the note such as the position of the arrow.
