Drawing Polygons
Overview
In order to annotate a floor plan by using a polygon, perform the following steps.
-
To annotate the floor plan using a polygon, click the Polygon icon.
-
Click a starting point on the floor plan. The shape continues to draw with each successive click of the mouse defining another point on the shape.
-
The shape is complete when you click back on your starting point, when you double-click your mouse, or when you hit the Done button on the dialog box.
-
-
Formatting and functions are the same as with Drawing Pre-Defined Shapes above.
-
Drag the corners or sides to enlarge or decrease the size of the shape.
-
Click the orange button to rotate the shape.
-
Under the dialog box Style tab, you can change the look and feel of the shape.
-
Under the Transform tab, you can see the dimensions and total area of the shape, based on the scale of the floor plan.
-
Note that even if you have not closed the shape (for example, you have drawn just three sides of a square), the Space Planning module will calculate the area of the shape assuming the end points are connected.
-
Click the Remove button to remove the shape from the floor plan.
