Lens width

Keys: ↑↓ walk, ←→ turn, Shift+←→ step sideways, Shift+↑↓ look up and down, PgUpPgDn eye height, Z frame the selection or room. You can also drag the camera dot in the plan.

Mouse: scroll zooms the lens, Shift + scroll walks. Hold the right button and move to look around; with it held, WASD fly and QE go down and up (Shift is faster). Alt + right-drag orbits the selection or room; middle-drag slides the camera. The camera may stand outside the room; the walls in the way turn faint.

Paper frame

Frames the view as a sheet of paper with a 1 cm grid, to copy square by square. The dotted floor line is where the picture is at the chosen scale. Print frame prints just the framed area on one sheet of that paper; print at 100% (not "fit to page") so the squares are 1 cm.

Rooms

Rotate the room

Angle (° clockwise)

Turns everything about the middle of the room: walls, rooms, lines, furniture, ceiling and floor fixtures, saved scenarios and the camera. Doors, windows and fixtures on walls or objects keep their places. Undo brings it back. Walls must be unlocked.

Fixtures

Click a fixture here or its outline on the drawing to edit it. Locked fixtures can't be dragged or deleted; fixtures on an object always follow the object.

Sheet Title

Printing at 100% (no "fit to page") keeps the drawings at the chosen scale.

Elevations

Depth shown

Each elevation looks at the wall from inside the room and shows what stands within that distance of it.

Scratchpad

Draw on the sheet: lines, arrows, rectangles, text and dimension lines. A dimension reads its length at the sheet scale unless you type a label. Shift keeps 15° steps (squares for rectangles), Alt turns the half-millimetre snap off, Delete removes the selected mark, Esc leaves the tool. Marks stay where you put them when the scale or paper changes, and they print.

Snapping

Grid step

Boxes also snap to walls (angled walls too: to their face) and to the faces of other unrotated boxes. Hold Alt while dragging to place or rotate freely. Walls are drawn in 15° steps; Shift-drag a wall end to move that corner freely.

Mouse wheel in the plan Wheel scrolls sideways, Shift + wheel up and down

Unticked (default): the wheel scrolls up and down and Shift + wheel sideways. Ctrl + wheel zooms.

Right-drag drags the drawing itself

Unticked (default), the view follows the cursor like a camera; ticked, the drawing sticks to the cursor like a map.
